What ever hulls you have I would stick to the standard beams dolphin stricker, centre boards and bare trampoline this should save on costs and also be proven to work. I'll leave rudders up to your personal taste in kick up mechanisms. Given the choice of spi poles and snuffers and the fact you're not likely to import I think you should purchase the VWM snuffer and pole, again its been tried tested and proven to work well. I can't see that you have a great selection of Masts to choose from if your selection criteria doesn't include custom made Carbon, the only one which springs to my mind is the AHPC superwing and again VWM could procure this. So this now leaves sails and hardware and due to the dollar exchange rates you will probably be buying sails from a US supplier who has a good knowledge of the market and can produce sails to your personal requirements. Glasser would appear to fit this criteria well. As for hardware my personal preference would be Harken throughout especially on the high load parts. I'll leave the sizes, makes and strengths of sheets and halyards up to your personal choice. So in summary as you have asked for peoples opinions mine would be to speak to Matt and get practically everything you need from him. Otherwise, you might just be wasting your hard earned cash on bits and bobs which don't compliment each other and ultimately you have wasted your time (sounds a bit harsh). But good luck and enjoy the experience.
