[quote=Wolfman]Awesome! There are lots of threads on the 5.2 so read as much as you can. The 5.2 is quite a bit more complicated to rig than the 16, so the first time or two will be an adventure. Have someone show you if you can. Make sure you double check that everything is put together correctly and works properly before you take it out, tape all of your ring dings with electrical tape. The 5.2 likes a little bit of mast rake but nowhere near as much as the H16. Some people like to rig it so the mast is almost vertical. I like to rake mine so the mast tip is about 2 ft behind the front beam, gives you a bit more control at the rudders, improves tacking a little and lets you drive the bows a bit harder. Otherwise have fun with it! It definitely tacks and jibes better than the H16, better downwind performance and it is very hard to pitchpole. Its a very tunable boat with many options to upgrade and improve. I've probably tweaked mine within and inch of its life so look at my gallery for a few ideas. If you have questions or ideas feel free to ask, one or more of us will definitely help out and can provide sound advice and pros and cons of various things.
