I am interested in possibly getting a hooter or spinnaker for my 2000 Hobie 17Sport. BACKGROUND: I've sailed a Hobie 16 fro 20 years and switched over to the 17Sport last year. I usually solo unless the wind is above 20 mph then I look for a light crew (I weigh 210 lbs). I do not race, but like to sail fast. Most of my sailing is on the Columbia River in the upper Gorge and Wallula Gap. I've seen several spinnaker kits out there, but no one seems to make one for the Hobie 17. QUESTIONS? Is there a reason that spinnaker/hooter kits aren't made for the H 17Sport? Is it practicle for a soloer to use a spinnaker or hooter (or is it just too much work for one person)? Presently a hooter (basically a small spinnaker like sail which is roller furled instead of stuffed/snuffed) appears to be the better choice? Thanks
