I've had Hooters (by Calvert and Smythe) on an TheMightyHobie18 Mag, SC 20, Reynolds 21 and now Flight Risk. I'm certainly not the sailor Rick is, and that may be enough to explain my inability to get the boats to point as high as he can. And the SC and FR both have assym spins that carry noticibly deeper than the Hooters, but I love the Hooters none the less, I'm just not sure they do everything well. I think they are more appropriate for recreational sailing than windward leward racing.
I'd advise getting your pole set up and halyard positioned and then measure your luff length, and allow for the length of the furler, swivel and hlyd blk. I'd also reccomend attaching the furler to the pole tip with a snap hackle that has a trip line running back to the main xbeam. That way if you have a malfunction, you can release the whole assembly and drop it onto the tramp.
