How low can I sail down wind with an Asymmetric Spinnaker?

An Asymmetric spinnaker can sail as low as a symmetrical spinnaker if you use a pole the same way you use a pole on a symmetrical spinnaker. If you do not want to use a pole you can still sail at about 120 degrees off of the wind direction in over 10 knots of wind. In lighter wind you will need to sail slightly higher angles.
