Well im hoping to have a system that can be run both sloop and cat rigged, as i occasionally will be putting the jib on and running with a crew, just depends on when the crew are available, and whether weather is permitting (my first race was sloop rigged with a total crew+skipper weight of about 190kg in less than 5 knott winds .... wont be doing that again!).

Im working off the theory, that if the spinnaker can be setup to be easily operated by the skipper on a cat rigged, then the crew should have no problem handling it on a sloop rigged boat. Will have to see how it goes, if position of sheets, lines etc setup for the helm is a problem for the crew, then i may even setup a system that allows different positions depending on whether the kite will be operated by me or the crew, though that shouldnt be too much of an issue. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Cheers.
Michael.
