I see you have a N5.8na.

For reference, the Taipan 4.9 is about the same speed, weighs significantly less and is easy to rig, move around, and right singlehandedly. It is well made and strong. It cannot carry as much crew weight as the N5.8, but can carry more than a H16.

Adding the spinnaker adds a lot of fun to the 4.9 but will increase rigging time.

There are some 4.9s available in the US--send me a private message if you'd like more info/details.
