Does anyone have any information on running a spinnaker (or more reasonably a

blooper) on an 18' or 19' cat (Prindle or Hobie)?  I saw some pictures

of them in the Whirl (sp?) 1000, and would love to try it.

In the Sept./Oct. edition of Hobie Hotline (available at any Hobie
dealer) there is an article about the modified Hobie-18 used in this
year's Worrel 1000. It describes the modifications used to add a spinnaker
pole (among other things) for the race, although If I had an 18 (I have a
16) and were considering the mods I'd want a little more detail before
I started on the job.
