Drifter or Assymetrical

[mikereed100]

I have a Catalina 30 and need a light air sail. I am looking at building one of the Sailrite kits but am having a hard time deciding between a drifter and assymetrical chute. The boat currently has a 100% on a CDI furler, so a genny is less of an option (hard to change headsails with this furler).

My question is, will I really be able to point much higher with a drifter than an assy? Since the forestay has a sail wrapped around it the drifter would have to be loose. The Sailrite assy has quite abit more area than the drifter so would give me more horsepower, but will I be much more limited in direction against true wind? I've never used an assymetrical so have no idea how high they point. I did try a drifter on this boat and could not point above 90 degrees to the apparant wind.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
