So far I have tried a Wave jib, Hobie 16 Jib, NACRA ? jib, a light air pentex Hooter, and a couple of non spin Tornado jib's. The best overall has been then the Tornado jib followed by the H16. The hooter is best on a reach and downwind but it is doesn't point high enough going upwind. The Tornado jib gives a little bit going downwind but has speed and angle going upwind.
What modifications did you have make to be able to use the Tornado jib?
Hi Carl,
So far I find the Hooter works on all points of sail until the wind gets up too high. I have been able to outpoint Hobie 16s and go almost as fast.
I think the trick is you really have to sheet hard and have a lot of luff tension. And then keep the inside telltales jumping a bit on the Hooter.
Usually, I unfurl and leave it out.., and furl when I tack.
