I would like to put a hooter or hooterlike headsail on my '78 solcat, but cant bring myself to pony up the 3 Grand to buy one considering I got the boat for free and re-rigged it for less than 2 grand. my question is, what is the diffrence between the hooter and a Genoa. Can I get a genoa and a furler off ebay and a wind surfer mast and rig this up my self? or is there something about the shape of the genoa that it wont work right? By the way, thanks to all of the posters last spring who helped me thru the rebuilding process. I had a great summer single handing my like-new solcat 18. It is very simply rigged and is a breeze to single hand. Its awesome to be back on two hulls after so many years, and I dont plan on stopping sailing just because its winter. Yea, I read it, dont pee in the dry suit. And thanks for that info.
