@NowhereMan, show me your spinnaker mod ways!  Let's hit the bay and sail.  I'd like to see how you rigged the spinnaker - have seen threads online mentioning the stock install method has issues to the detriment of the main sheet.

Thanks for the invite! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get out on the water for several weeks, due to a variety of reasons.

The stock spinnaker is OK, but I didn't like the snuffer sock, as it got in the way when fishing. I've tried several variations, and what I like best is a continuous furler, using a torque rope instead of a solid mast. It's completely out of the way when fishing, and I can take it down on the water, if necessary. Kind of a fun toy, but I only use it maybe half the times I go sail fishing, as there are a lot of ropes to deal with...

Welcome Mike!

You didn't actually catch that Mola did you???
I released it of course!

Never heard of one being caught before.
What did you catch it on?

Very nice kayak! I love taking my friends and family fishing, however, with my kayak, Hobie Revo 13, it's impossible to have them tag along
