Eric-
It's definitely possible but it would require some changes including the addition of a jib track, strut from bridle to spi pole (or solitary pole ala the P 19MX) and a new jib (shorter in the foot but longer in the luff and leach, potentially with full battens if you wanted overlap- it would HAVE to be smaller than the "stock" 4.9 jib to be F 16HP compliant since the "stock" jib is too large [but grandfathered as long as the 4.9 is stock]). On our "small" boats I really think this would be a big blessing and I am going to pursue this possible option.
