I also have heard about people trying to get the spinnaker action in the worlds but not the yourths. The question is why are they puting spinnakers on since they go alright without them any way? Well sorry to be mean but puting a spinnaker on the hobie 16 just doesn't seem right. With the youths having them at the worlds just isn't right and im a youth who wants to have a spinnaker on board my boat. To me a spinnaker on a hobie 16 is just more rope on board and since the youth guys aren't as strong as the big guys in the opens doesn't that mean the bigger and stronger you are the better you will be on a windy day. Well if thy go along with the spinnaker i will still go along i guess.
