[quote=robpatt]lucky for you, cat sailing is bigger in europe than in the US, so you should have lots of help.
go sail on a cat with a spin, you drive, and see what you think.
I have a Hobie 18, sailed it for 3 years, and decided to put a spin on... YES it's worth it!
Gather up some used stuff, meet some folks who are upgrading theirs... you buy some things new, and save money with their used items.... Look at other boats for installation methods.
You can drill into the mast, no problem. Use "rivet caps" then the rivet, and some silicone, you'll be fine. Biggest thing is go sail and try it out... and study how other boats have their spinnakers setup.[/quote]
