I thought about running a jib on mine, but I thought it would be too many strings on the tramp and I needed to get the pole at a higher angle. The bridles for the Turbo are just too short to get the Hooter at the right degree. The Hooter is a flat sail, so you can actually sail it up wind! Thus, you don't really need a jib. Granted, you have to foot a lot more than with a jib or uni rig, but you get there much faster. One more issue is that if the wind is really blowing (like 15+) you really can't use the Hooter up wind. That is a down side, but you can use it on the down wind leg and make up some time..
