asym rigging

[Bob Pingel]

I have used tails 2-3' long on conventional boats.

I would splice the tail and use a spool-like shackle. Hi-Mod does not like knots, and the spools are nice and light.

You will be somewhat limited in length if you use conventional 12-strand eye splices. Consider using multiple brummels with as much bury as you can get. You could splice up a grommet, but then you are dragging two parts around the headstay/sail.
