I've seen a few pictures of the hobie europe chute. It doesn't look bad. But why hassle trying to get it shipped over and etc when you could get one from Smyth Team that is probably better and cheaper. The Hobie 18 spinnaker from Smyth is $695, very reasonable, a hobie 18 spinnaker from hobie is $890. To deal with hobie europe you would probably end up dealing with some pretty bad shipping fees. Not to mention if you rip your smyth you send it to him and he repairs it like new. You rip your hobie europe and bring it to a sailmaker it won't be as good as new.
