I thought that the spinny on a Hobie 16 was a really bad idea - until my team started sailing one!

the pole is really long and the sail gives a huge amount of lift to the bows. this means that teams [especially the lighter ones] can sail the boat downwind in more breeze with the kite than WITHOUT!
Its a really well done piece of kit and makes the H16 very exciting downwind and it sails just like an F18! Try it and you will see.
