Gees, I'm not sure about this spinnaker on 14's thing. I mean I designed the 430 after the 'A' class concept to produce an easy boat to manage on the hard and a nice boat to sail on the water. It has been a success in both areas and has given me several good years of competitive sailing with limited hassles and lots of great fun.
I'm now far enough down the road toward fitting a spinnaker to realise that I'm making a very nice (IMHO), reasonably simple uncomplicated boat very complicated.
At present it takes just a bit longer to rig than a 'normal', 14 i.e. Hobie, Maricat, etc. I don't trail the 430 with the rudders attached and it carries a spanner which needs to be set up so it takes just a few minutes longer to rig, but when the kite is up and running it'll take a shirtload of additional time to put the thing together and pull it apart again.
I'm really NOT keen to make my sailing significantly more difficult than it already is. I can't believe the amount of extra stuff that's needed to carry a kite, and I presently furl rather than snuff.
Maybe I'm gettin' old but it really does seem like it's all just too freekin' hard.

Sure it'll go faster but then so does a speed boat, so what?
