I bet you could lower the price and weight by choosing the self standing mast version
Weight = no, price = yes.
Simplicity and ease of rigging = yes.
Doesn´t the self standing support alleviate hull an beam stresses enough to require less reinforcement, resulting in less weight and cost?
Also, doesn´t the more flexible self standing mast make the boat easier to handle, even if a bit slower?
Anyway, whatever the setup I'll buy at least one.
