Well,

I'm glad Wouter is done, now we can go on exchanging our experiences with the spinaker on the Hobie 16.
MY experience is that the "diving capabilities" of a H16 diminish when using a spinaker downwind.
I suggest giving it a go with the spinaker. It is fun.

Although for a lot of H16-diehards adding a apinaker is a bit of defiling (correct word ?) the H16-class.......
