Thanks guys I knew I could count on you all to help me with this.
Its going to be carbon, and wing be shaped, and have flames....
No amount of flames is going to make a bob on a performance cat look anything but gay. It's like buying a trials bike and putting training wheels on it.
If there is a significnat amount of wind on the tramp and the mast is down wind you need a HUGE float. If the mast is upwind, it will right itself.
If you just make sure your mast is sealed all is good. Also note a violent pitch witha big bob is not so good on the life of your mast. About the same force as pitching onto land, a dock, or a course mark. Un-turtling a broken mast is hard
