Check out the current class rules - and tinker to your heart's content. I'm looking at a self-tacker for the jib right now. The guys that started the class wanted us to be able to tinker. You can go all out with a mid-pole snuffer or a snail, all new hardware, use any sail maker, and on and on. I'm not sure I could build something for less than I purchased the boat for...

Lemme know if you guys want Don's broken ARC 22 mast - I could deliver it to Spring Fever if you want.
