i have a question for the forum. I have a F18 spinnaker ready to go for this boat as well. Do you think i need to add another set of diamond stays like they have on the 6.0 to supports the rig? I heard stories of a 5.8 rig bending severely under spin loads, but that was in heavy air double trapped.
I'm wondering if running this as a singlehander will reduce the mast loads due to lower weight? i really don't want to add the second set of diamonds if i dont have to. thoughts????? (i also dont want to lose a rig tho haha)
