If you are going to put kite on it consider also a snuffer rather than launching it from the tramp. Quicker and easier. Of course, this ups your budget some so consider carefully what you want to acheive. If you want cheap cat racing then forget the spinnaker and race the other Darts. If you want a spinnaker cat then you may be better with one designed for spinnaker.

The D18 mast should be able to take the load of a kite as long as you keep the mainsheet tension on.
