[quote=MN3]i sail a mystere 5.5 and sail with a small fleet of 8 or 9 mysteres (5.5's, 6.0, 6.0XL's)
we ALL have spins. IT IS VERY MUCH WORTH the expense, trouble, frustration, etc
they are expensive (about $700-800 worth of hardware + about $1400 for a new spin) BUT SOOOO WORTH IT.
When it's light air and people are slowly drifting downwind... you can heat up the spinnaker and blow past them. When its medium air... you can fly your cat around like a rock star. When it's heavy air you can get on the wire, fly a hull and really feel exhilaration as you sail on the edge
when it goes bad with the spin.... it goes really bad BUT still... SOOO WORTH IT!
Learning and using a spin is an entirely new way to sail and brings a huge new level of excitement (and fear) into sailing...[/quote]
