Hi Fred,
We're hull number 150 built 1983 in Rhode Island. We purchased IM from an
American couple (Dave and Linda) in the Philippines a couple of years
ago after they had spent 15 years cruising in the Pacific, crossing from
Mexico. They bought her from a family that sailed her around the
That would be an adjustment and the handicap would take a hit for it ...
unless it was one of the newer boats like Farr 30 or similar that has
masthead chute and fractional rig as a standard design. One note -
changing a fractional boat to fly a masthead chute puts other than
designed for forces

You could always sell your boat and get a Melges 24, 32 or something of
that ilk. Then by the time the boats like you now have get in all your
cerw would be gone because THERE IS NOT INTERIOR to relax in afterward!
Fast is nice on light boats but you give up an awful lot to have that
boat
You have to rig a halyard for it. We kept the fractional halyard and added the
one at the top of the mast - put a sheave up there and ran the halyard tail
down inside the mast and out the side. We still use the fractional chute when
it is blowing.

Agreed. We took a six second hit for the masthead chute. We sail mostly in
light air, so are careful - the last few feet of the mast are only supported by
the back stay, as the shrouds come out of the mast at the same level as the
fractional chute and forestay.
