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?

Ah, so what you're saying here, is that EVERY 16 should have a spinnaker...

...y'know...

for safety, right? :wink:

Keen to know the cost and what's involved, too.

A spinnaker kit from Hobie is about $1,500 the last I checked (haven't checked lately). And YES, you can make "A" setup (not necessarily exactly like Hobie's) yourself !!!
