I don't want to put a damper on things here, but once again the Dotans were tried on a new design (G-cat F16) and the system broke and was reported to be too flexible to work well on a spinnaker catamaran. I seem to remember similar reports from the time some 18HT's were using them. Although indeed some like this setup.
