Tom, As with most things sailing...it depends. If I were racing in the spinnaker fleet I would certainly put one on my mast. It allows for much more precise triming. For recreational sailing, I've never really missed having it. Rather than trim as perfectly as possible, when I singlehand I usually over trim. That way I don't have as much worry about the sail collapsing. John Edwards Miss T M17 # 372
