OT: Got a Chute Scoop

This is slightly off topic, but I scored a 25' Chute Scoop (new, $183) for $30 at a local estate sale.  It is a little stained on one end, but it is all there.  I might use this for the Hobie 16 spinnaker?  I didn't plan to document the Hobie 16 spinnaker project, but maybe I will...  We'll see!  I was planning to build a snuffer system, but maybe this is more simple.  I wasn't planning to race with the spinnaker on the H16 anyways, it would be more for fun. So it may work?
