No need. As Eric so nicely pointed out, there's a reason we don't need spinnakers...

Eric doesn't need a chute cuz he doesn't own a BOAT.Are you saying your boat doesn't count as a boat?
"I said, now, I said ,pay attention boy!"
The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea Isak Dinesen If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most. E. B. White
Sucks for the A-cat that the big fat fiberglass barge of an F18 can hang with them uphill. And did you say "expensive" when describing an F18 next to an A?
Hobie 16... yes, we see them at A-pin all the time - they always have the start before ours.
Not at the Alter Area A Qualifiers when it’s blowing 18+. Don’t ask me how I know, but Bob was there too.

“I’ll take reading and comprehension for 1000, Alex...” That’s not even remotely what Eric said. Lack of testosterone caused by some critical missing body parts blocking your ability to read? If I were to ask a female, she’d probably say that would be a first in the history of mankind, usually it’s too much testosterone that screws up our thinking.

John was told he couldn't get the new C2 because Greg put a must be this tall to ride sticker on them.
I'm Sorry John, but these just don't get old.

Yea Tawd it was kind of a bummer sellin the A cat, but it was either that or be homeless. On the other hand it is only soft water sailing. Its not like I am giving up iceboats.
This weekend I thought my nuts were never coming back. It was about 6 deg sailing Saturday. Sunday was a balmy 15 degrees. This is a video of John Harper which gives a feel for what Iceboating is like
Of course when this was taken it was only blowing about 10 mph so they were not going that fast, mayby 40 down wind. On a windy day a 1 mile windward leeward takes about 2 1/2 min upwind and 70-90 seconds downwind. Upwind -downwind closing speeds ~100 mph. Nothing like it.
