Take a look at this story and all the links in it. That will explain a lot. This was the Hooter system I developed for the Wave about 10 years ago. The concept was to make the Wave a two-person trainer boat for youth. Still has possibilities.

I was passing a well-sailed Hobie 20 when it imploded. Since then I have beefed up the bow sprit.
What Jack has done is make an even longer bow sprit, however I am pretty sure 9' is plenty.
Hope to have the Super Hooter in the Sandusky Steeplechase coming up in a couple of weeks.
