:: Hi Jason,

:: Yup that's me. Although good try in theory, it's not

:: 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.

:: :: 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

Have you considered trying to sell the Melges rig, perhaps on the Melges websight? That might help offset the cost of a new class rig.
