I have a Hobie Tiger chute that I intend to put on my Hobie 18. I have an end pole snuffer from an I20. I'm assuming that I want to make the sail geometry as close as possible to a Tiger so my questions are:
1) How long is the spin pole on a Tiger?
2) How high up the mast is the spin tang on a Tiger?
3) How far back from the front beam are the primary spin sheet blocks?

I plan to cut my spin pole (12') down to the length of a Tiger pole. Would there be any advantage to leaving it longer? I've got an all aluminum mast. Any other comments/advice?

Thanks,
