How to size an asymmetrical spinnaker?
I'm looking to purchase an asymmetrical spinnaker for my cruising catamaran. The sail will be flown from the bow sprit with my top-down furler. I can't seem to find guidance online on how to size it. The luff is never taught on this sail so I'm guessing that you don't measure the luff the same as you'd measure a jib or mainsail. The 'I' measurement doesn't really offer guidance as it will be flown from a bow sprit.

My spinnaker shackle to the furler shackle and the length of my anti-torsion rope is 60'. Any advice is appreciated.
