Don' see how changing the sails is going to do anything except increase costs for owners.
The kite was cheaper than E/P at around $1350. How is that increasing the cost?
How many Kites did you have to pay for before that one was the one you picked?
I know from my PHRF racing days that the skippers I'd race for would usually have to buy 3 spins before he found one that he liked - and then bought two more in different sizes for different wind strengths.
Whose to say that someone with deep pockets couldn't go out and go buy about 5 spinnakers and pick the best one for the event?
