So again, is this an overly-complicated solution to a rare problem? I know of Hobie and Prindle 16's that were more prone to pitchpoling, but most modern cats aren't. I installed the cheap anti-pitchpoling foils on the bows of my old Hobie-16 and they seemed to work very well for a hundred bucks. Afer that pitchpoling the 16 required a serious mistake on my part.
