Well, i have the 5.8 and its ready to go, besides 18 square masts can't support a jib, much less a chute.

I need a new tramp anyways, the old one is tearing apart. I have a ton of sailboat parts in my inventory. everything from cabling to spreaders to you name it. I also have a metal fabrication shop. Everything from welders to mills.

take out the cost of the tramp (i have to buy one anyways) and all the parts and pieces i already have, and this will cost me 350 bucks. smile

The idea is to do it in such a way that everything (except the added boom) can be removed and the boat can be set up as a stock 5.8 again.
