Before you throw away those shrouds picture yourself standing a 26' unstayed mast and walking it to the foredeck of a 17' boat. Then you want to try that in the water to get under a bridge? If you want to dip your mast you already have the proper rig. There is merit to a keel stepped mast, but if you cut it and hinge it at the deck why bother?
