That said, assyms are pretty simple to fly single handed or short-handed, especially if you can fly them without a pole and use an ATN Tacker or similar sleeve to hold the tack at the forestay. If they're on a wire-luff
furler, they can be even simpler to use. Flying a symmetrical
spinnaker, with a pole, can be a real PITA and dangerous to boot, especially if you don't have the boat rigged to do so. Not having the spin pole downhaul and topping lift ran back to the cockpit makes it very diffiicult to fly a sym
spinnaker single-handed.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
