[quote=DanBerger]OK, two things--
Don't forget the compression tube, or you'll be sorry. The stainles bolt will corrode the hole in the aluminum mast and it will eventually break. The Hobie kits come with a reinforcement plate and a compresion tube. Even if you THINK you don't need it--use it.
Next thing: how are you going to rotate without a boom? On the A cats, we have a control on the front beam on each side and you have to remember to release it when jibing. It's pretty ugly if you don't. The older style that has a jam cleat on the boom just didn't work very well.
If you are still boomless, the forward facing rotator would probably be the better rout for you. However, if you use the one pictured above, you can put it behind the mast and run the control lines around the mast.[/quote]
