Hello Cat Sailors,
Looking for your input;

Task; Develope Hi wind ( 15-25 mph) spinnaker system

boat; Inter 17 euro and Hobie FX-1

Goal; contolled, 1 person, spinnaker sail and deployment system in 15-25 mph

Harper and I have sailed the Uni for almost 2 years in Trade Winds, year round, down here in St. Croix. We have decided to take the next step to be spin boats.

The whole aspect is , 1 person and controlable in this wind range.

Roller furling appears to have an edge, unless someone out there has a good configuration.

A smaller chute, with sail area low,..may be the ticket.

Ideas,...comments,...brain storms?.......

..we believe it can be done..

regards,

Bruce
