I recently bought a used hooter and pole for my P-19 originally built for a NACRA 6.0. I dicovered that I will have to attach the hound about five feet above where the hound for the shrouds is attached. Am I asking for it or can the boat handle it relatively well?
I understand that the main becomes the backstay and a dumped main in a breeze is a fast track to a broken mast. Will I be better off going to the added expense of getting the sail cut down so it attaches about 30 inches above the shrouds? Any opinions are welcome.
Thanks
