yes.....indeed !! ))) spinnakers have a terrible tendency to get quickly out of hand, especially when there are only two available on board !! But its great feeling to fly your kite for sure, but be very wary of wind change and possible enforcing of our little friend too !! You can be quickly in very serious trouble, especially when this fragile sail finds itself in the water and under your keel or worse still in your prop !! I am a single handed sailor, i have a spinnaker sock which in theory helps, but even then i keep it at bay for when i have some friends who want to see my old girl fly !! But good on yah bud, thats the way to learn !! following you now !! )

If I ever get my own boat, I doubt I'd get a spinnaker, but I might go for some kind of  cutter design with two foresails. Or maybe a schooner, if I want to start getting crazy with the rigging :P

A spinnaker sock would certainly help but, I can't justify the cost right now for something like that. It's way down on the list of luxuries. I'm a very stingy sailor and like to figure out effective ways of doing things without spending much money before buying the easy (usually expensive) solution.
