Hi

My FX-One spinnaker has been destroyed and new ones are very expensive in the uk. I have an F18 spinnaker lying around, has anyone but one on and FX-One?

Cheers!

It will "work" but may not work as well as your old kite. The key dimension is the luff. As long as the F-18 spinnaker's luff is roughly the same as your old FX-One's (within a foot or so), then you should be OK.

Once you get the hoist worked out, then you can play with the sheeting angle.
