| Post subject: | hobie 16 spinnaker |
Okay I have been watching videos on youtube on hobie 16's using spinnakers, and that looks cool and all but what I don't understand is how they don't pitch pull as soon as they put it up. My question is how does a spinnaker work on a 16, I just don't understand it. |

The spinnaker crates lift on the bows, pulling them out of the water rather than driving them down. |

Oh really? Well anyway how much is a kit for a 16 spinnaker, and can I make the set up by myself? |
