I don't think there is a cat that you couldn't pit a spin on. However, there definitely isn't one made specifically for the freestyle. Not a big problem as there isn't a spin kit made specifically for most cats. For the size of cat you would have to get a kit meant for a 14-16 foot cat. So a Hobie 16 spin kit or a Nacra 500 spin kit would work for you.

It will take a bit of work on your part, other than riviting the various bits to the mast and beam you will need to put a couple of holes through the nose of your hulls in order to rig the support lines for the spin pole. That is a pretty simple piece of glass work. The only thing is that it will likely cost you a pretty penny for the kit.

Regards,
Dave

I had a freestyle...you could do it. You may want to be careful doing so...pretty lightweight mast extrusion

Hi Jaime,
Are you still rigging up your boat? I have one and am needing to figure out what the lengths of the main stays are.
