| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

I would think that as long as it meets the minmum size requirements to be a class spinnaker, it should be legal. I don't think it would be smart to use that as your primary spinnaker though. And I wouldn't use it as a back-up as well. If we had one I wouldn't use it for one-design stuff. You should be able to hold a class legal kite just as well with a full crew on the rail.
You are right though about having to have one of your spinnakers at least a year old. This makes sure people aren't winning races because they are buying new spinnakers every weekend.
Cheers,
Jason
