OK, while I'm starting posts (which I don't often do), I do have one other question. Can a 14' cat handle a spinnaker (are there any that do?), and can one be retrofitted on a boat designed w/out one?

I currently sail a Trac 14 (which is the same as a Windrush in Australia), and I was wondering about whether a spinnaker could be added. The Trac 14 has more hull bouyancy than the Hobie 14, but I'm not sure how much hull-burying tendency would be added via a spinnaker, and whether it would bury any 14'. For the record, I've never sailed w/ a spinnaker before, but it looks like it would be a hoot. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks!
Kevin
