Assymetrical Sail

Can anyone describe or provide photos of the rigging required for the use of an assymetrical sail? More specifically:

1) Can I use the spare jib halyard on the port side to hoist the sail? If so, then it can only be used on the port side? How do I set it up for use on boths sides?
2) What kind of rigging (and what size) do I need in the cockpit to handle the sheets and where would it be located? So I need to mount anything to the deck/hull?

I have the sail but am not sure how it works and the Catalina manual is not clear on this, especially for an assymetrical sail.

Mallomar,

Ok, I ordered the book and look forward to reading it regardless of whether or not it answers my very specific questions. Thanks for the heads-up!

Jerry,
check out the thread "spinnaker size" in the Rigging forum. It has a pretty detailed way to do the rigging for this sail.
