Dan, thanks for the picture. That is exactly what I first thought of doing, only using an eye-bolt instead of a tang.

I ran the G-Cat 5.7M jib up the mast on the main halyard and walked it around front to see where things would need to attach... and found that my G-Cat jib is just as big as the H14 mainsail! I'd have to use it as a mast-head jib and raise all the shrounds accordingly

So the hunt is on for a stock H14 Turbo R/F jib... for as cheap as possible

Dan, what's the sail area of your hooter?
