Spend some of that cash on a spinnaker for your SX18, you will really fly downwind once you get the hang of it.
You do have to have good crew or you will go swimming, or break a mast.
The Tiger setup converts quite nicely.
Email me off line if you need/want pictures etc.


John,

I have a spinnaker sail that came with my SX but no rigging or pole. I would like to set it up eventually but have no clue so any pictures or description of what sed would be helpful. Thanks.

Sorry I was away for awhile, busy moving.
I ended up with Whirlwind sails and was able to put the boat in the water just a couple of times with the new sails. They are AWESOME. Chip has the main and is making some adjustments for me. While the boat was out of the water, I fabricated a mid pole snuffer. I have dry land tested it, but I will have to wait for spring to fly the spin.
