    Right vs left asym tarp pitch. what is the correct way to pitch?

    OK, so I'm in the process of making my first asym tarp and I seem to have seen both right and left lay asym tarps. How exactly is an asymmetric tarp pitched?

    I'm using silpoly pu4000 with secondary rideline tyeouts so orientation and side matters.

    I'm specifically building it for a Blackbird XLC which I believe is a right lay. Dutch's wide xenon seems to be for a left lay though because the short side is going away from the head of where itd be on the xlc.

    Dutch's asym is either way. You flip it over if you need to, and it's the opposite lay. If you are building it yourself just pick which way you want it.

    This diagram from ultimate hang may help illustrate how it's pitched: http://theultimatehang.com/wp-conten...tarp-size1.png
