I have a custom made Drifter 350sq ft cost me 1300$ & I beleive I paid around 900$ for the CD Spin. furling system for it also, but when I bought my boat I was able to purchase my new mac cruising 350sq ft Spin. for 400$ so for me that was a easy dission for that price both sails are cut diff the drifter is cut more like a gaint genny made of 3/4oz Chalenger cloth I beleive
So it depends what u are going to do with it i guess my drifter is all stitched the mac spin has glued seams

Right now the simplest, easiest, and best bang for the buck is the Hyde spinnaker and snuffer from JudyB on this site. It is readily available and is uncomplicated to install. There are a few of us who already have the hyde configuration and are quite happy with it, I know I am. :D
