On a Hobie 14 (I've got one), you don't really want a spinnaker, you want a sail called a hooter (essentially a reacher). I makes for a trully brilliant if a little terrifyring ride. It can be used upwind in a light wind, and downwind all the time. I have photos of my setup for this sail and for a normal turbo if anyone wants it. 

THe problem with the houter is that it does not rate as a Spi under SCHRS (It does not conform to the 75% mid-girth rule to qualify as a Spi and so you get hammered as it is rated as a Jib.

However, for fun sailing......
