Hi Jason,

Yup that's me. Although good try in theory, it's not going to work. The geometry is not good for carrying the genoa. I am going to contact Buzz, but was hoping there might be some less expensive alternatives. Oh well, still like the boat, but want the one design configuration back. The restoration is great so it should be worth the trouble. Boat lives in Anacortes wa northwest.

:: Steve,

:: I take it you must be the new owner of hull #16. Where
:: is she located now? As for the mast, you are probably
:: going to only be able to find a mast through Buzz
:: Ballenger of Ballenger spars. They run about $6K now
:: with everything included.
::
:: Cheers,

:: Jason
::
:: :: Looking to acquire a replacement rig. Any information or
:: :: leads would be appreciated. I would like to return the
:: :: boat to one design configuration. Currently has a Melges
:: :: 24 rig.
