When I bought my N6.0, It was an original. I snapped the mast off a couple months ago and replaced it with a mast with double diamond wires(NA mast). I still have a small square top main(sq footage in line with 6.0 orig),a self tacking Jib, and a spinnaker. Is my boat considered a NA, or an Orig.? Also, If it is an NA, and I opt to get a larger main, can I make up some of the lost sf from the self tacking jib and add it to the overall sf if the boat(by adding over 3% to the main?

BTW, we had a mixed regatta with the local (Phoenix and Tucson, AZ) Hobie fleets in rocky point Mexico over the weekend. Had around 40 masts on the beach. This was very exiting to see as numbers have been dwindling over the past years. Thanks to the Hobie fleets for including our "all cat's" fleet in their lineup. I am looking forward to more of the same this spring for the PiƱata Regatta in April and for years to come. All cats, as it should be!
