Hi there,

I plan to add a boom, and have committed to it now because of the able I chose rear beam/traveller and where the eyelets for the tramp lacing have been attached.

I will not be adding jib. I wish it had a jib, but the more I've read and learned, it seems it's a lot of modification to do it properly and it can put a lot of pressure on the bows (especially older boats like mine with the chainplates on the outside of the hull). Better off just finding a 5.5SL or another type of boat.

Have fun with your 18sq. Pics?
