Hi H77,
as long as you are interested in spinnaker sailing

you are more than welcome here.
Am still looking forward to sailing with some Hobie 16's with spinnakers one day. There are quite a few of them around now but I don't seem to see them racing, which is the quickest way to learn to use the spin. well.
Happy to help with hints if I can just ask. But basicaly pointing as high as you can with spinnaker, with main sheeted centraly and then pulling away as speed builds which allows you to keep kite set is how it works. Best to trial this first in about 10 kts. which will give you good feel for the speed.
Regards Gary.
