I tried two different smaller single-hand boats, one of which had a spinnaker. In the end, I went back to what I love the most - two-up spinnaker racing where teamwork counts a lot and there are women in the fleet. The downsides I gladly tolerate. I don't fault anyone for the choices they make in this regard - thankfully, there is still a lot of cross-over in the fleets, so I get to see most folks somewhere soon or later.
