Flying my Spinnaker Asymmetrically on my Drascombe Lugger

My spinnaker is actually a Symmetrical spinnaker, from a GP14. However I have seen countless videos of various boats sailing with "Symmetric" spinnakers, "Asymmetrically". So, I thought i'd give it a try on Lulu!! Asymmetrical spinnakers have a few benefits over symmetrical ones. They're easier to manage and fly, especially if sailing solo. They also give you a wider angle of use to the wind and they can be flown with the jib still up too. It turned out that it wasn't a particularly good day for sailing but there was just enough wind to prove the point. The test left me plenty to think about and plenty of work to do to refine the sail, but I think it was a success overall. Hope you enjoy the video! 00:00 Do we need the bag? 02:17 Getting the sail ready ashore 05:36 Finding some wind! 06:22 Raising the spinnaker - Test 1 12:17 The wind has gone! 13:27 Test 2 14:15 The wind lies!!! 15:16 Using a Bow Sprit - Test 3 18:44 The markers have vanished! 19:21 Mooring up
