Hooters are uber-cool! Especially if you live in a low-wind area where you can use that extra area upwind. But as far as I know, only Rick are able to sail them downwind at a speed similar to spi's?

The 60 foot tris also use spi's on furlers, but I think they generate a bit more virtual wind than we do on beachcats
I dont know if flatter shapes, suitable for a furler, has been tried on T's but I imagine so..
