Hi Darryn,

At present in Victoria we have Spinnaker Titles on a different weekend to Non Spinnaker so extending the concept to Cat & Sloop is worth considering, but it's still not going to get more Sloops on the water at Nats where Spinnakers are already seperate.

Not sure if Lindsay Irwin keeps a tally probably not, but he often comments how he can't believe the number of spinnakers (and for that matter main sails) he has made for Mossies and of course there are quite a few others been made by Allygator and Goodall.

As for numbers it's probably fair to say that many of the newer sailors are spinnaker sailors and frequent the forum, not so much the longer term sailors. But there are a few more than 14 spinnakers out there, at least 20 I would guess.
