Thanks Doug, I understand that.
you need to sail it a bit hotter than the standard spin.
OK. Sounds easy. Just like downwind on any boat? Don't loose flow on the backside? Is there more speed to overcome the distance sailed? Are we saying two identical boats, one with a hooter and one with a spin, both sailed by equal skill crew will be a dead heat?
Would you size a hooter the same area as the max. allowable by the class for the spin/gen?
What is the matereial of the Hooter? Spin cloth? What is the longevity compared to a "spin"?
