Reply to: Hobie 18 Spinnaker Group Buy Feeler, Any Interest?

[quote=tamumpower1][quote=bruiser]Great job on putting this together for us. I am getting excited just thinking about the possibilities. Just as a suggestion for those who may be considering this added feature to your boat, I plan to bag launch from the tramp initially. I have been sailing cats with spinnakers since the mid 90's. What I can tell you is that this will be easy fun on the Hobie 18. The Hobie 18 is a very stable platform and very forgiving. The reason I am mentioning launching from the tramp is so folks do not get too bogged down spending money on F18 rigs and pole snuffers etc. That stuff can come later. First start of simple and easy. Halyard, old windsurfer mast for a pole, a few turning blocks and you are on your way. If you get to the point that you are losing races because your spinnaker douses are not fast enough, then you might consider the snuffers and such. Cheers and I can't wait to get going.[/quote] Thanks, I'm just as excited knowing I get to come home to new parts at the door... I have started an equipment/rigging suggestions list over on the hobie fourm since this forum doesn't allow me to edit my posts after a time it would make it hard to keep an updated list here. Once we have something more finalized I can post it over just for the record.[/quote]
