More Spinnaker Running Rigging Qeustion

Hey 36's
First let me say this. I race alot and on plenty of fast boats. I am currently racing on a Santa Cruz 37 and man this thing is wicked fast!
I say this just for a bit of background
I am looking to fly the asso spinnaker that came with my new boat.
I just cant figure out where to place the turning block. Obviously they should go as far back as possible and does this mean securing them to the furthest aft cleat?
Does anyone have any pictures of this set up?
where does the tack line secure to?
Does anyone have any pics of this set up?
I am sure I will work it all out I am just REALLY curious how you do it?
thanks in advance

Hey 36's
Did I ask the wrong question?
If anyone out there is going to their boat this weekend and has their boat rigged for an asymmetrical spinnaker would it be possible to take a couple of photos of how the spinnaker sheets are set up?
thanks in advance

I haven't completed setting ours up yet (need to climb the mast some calm day to add a halyard), so I can't help you on this. But have you tried using the search function? There are quite a few prior discussions on this subject over the past few years, some with pictures, even, that I've used for guidance. See, e.g.

Hey, Capt. Bill. Sorry I didn't see your post earlier.

Matthew is correct that we have lots of details including some photos of rigging for an asymmetrical spinnaker. Use the search feature and you will have it all.

Have fun!

Hey 36's
I am still looking for the answer to the question: Where do you put your spinnaker sheet turning blocks on an 89 MKI. I have seen earlier models that have a continuous track on the toe rail. My boat does not have that set up. Any and all ideas and pictures will gladly be accepted.
Thanks folks

Capt. Bill,

I am surprised you didn't come across this when you searched, but here is a link to a thread that has pics. Both posts are by me, deising, and one contains a link to prior posts with more pics.

Hope that helps.
