Selden mast, roller furling masthead foresail .. ..
And there are two spinnaker halyards one each side of the furling headsail.
So whats the best way to arrange the masthead so far as the spinnaker halyards are concerned? At the moment with an asymetric the wear on the halyard is really bad if the asymetric is set say to starboard with the port halyard, and still reasonably bad if set starboard to starboard or port to port.
With the intenion to add a proper spinnaker how can chaffing at the masterhead be resolved / and or improved as well with the asy as it is a pain dropping it for every gybe to change halyards.
Thank you
