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. Eric O'Brien ihnp4!mtung!edo

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.
