.... we also dont want to push people out of the class because they cant affort to get a new rig and get left behind on the water.....
May be time for an explanation of my situation which in turn would help explain as to why I'm watching this thread so closely....
Jurassic Karp 1740 (rebuild nearly done) will need a new mast and main-sail after the broken mast damaged my best sail
Twice Shy 1182 definitely needs the ~30 year-old "main-sail" replaced as well
I don't want to have to do it twice as the expense will mean one will simply be parked, I can afford to replace the sails and mast now but to find out in a couple or even a few months time that square top rigs are now 'ok' would mean I'm one that will be left behind purely on the affordability side
I'd even go as far as to offer the two boats as testing platforms ......
a reasonably "on weight" and fairly current Mosquito that has the ability to be sailed as cat or sloop & spinnaker for either setup an older cat that's in the +65 league that's sailed sloop and cat rigged.... I could hook the spi up too I guess & I sail both on lakes & the sea, and the windier the better (drifters were for people that wanted a Chrysler Panel-Van or sidways action in the car )
