   When attached to a long bowsprit or "prod", an asymmetrical spinnaker can be larger than a conventional spinnaker, since it can be carried further forward of the boat than is possible with a conventional spinnaker pole and the foot of the sail can extend to deck level.

Clewlines and buntlines are led along the yard and from there to the mast and down to the deck. These allow the bottom of the sail to be hoisted up to the yard, so the sail is effectively folded in two.
