Kurt-

There are a few F25Cs around with loose footed booms. Heaton and Spaulding arre both working out boom rigs as we speak or the last time I spoke with them. Which means that the info for materials and mounting procedures will be readiny available. Its also in the Farrier Plan Books. They have a slightly shorter main but this enables lazy jacks to be used much better than the lazy jacks with a boomless rig.

The major plus for the F28/Rs, in my opinion, is the rating and the working deck space. Also here the F28Rs are a "One design" and race in NOODs across the country.

WHat I don't like about the F25c is the handicap [-15 here] and the fact that carbon is more difficult to fix. It doesn't shatter like fiberglass but if you get T-boned you can't call Corsair for an ama...

If you're seriously interested contact Don Wigston @ Windcraft at the link below. The boat is in Dallas, Texas which is near DFW International Airport.
