I order the spinnaker kit last week and plan to use a couple if the mods this guy mentions. Lots of good info there.

Does anyone in the Bay Area have one of these?  I have been watching more people get them on YouTube and they look cool.  I just don't know the pros and cons while fishing.

Great for fishing trolling crabbing sailing
Cons hard to row

I've seen videos on how it increases speed quite a bit.  But the problem is that it makes transporting the AI much more difficult.  For me it's tough enough with all the fishing gear.

I got the kit and have installed it but have not had a chance to try it out yet. It won't affect transporting the kayak at all, as everything fits in the small "snuffer" bag. The down sides that I can see are increased setup time (5 to 10 minutes more), and there are a lot of additional ropes that could get in the way when fishing.
