[quote=martin_langhoff]It works. What the reverse spreaders gives you is the ability to go to a much lighter bendier mast, where you have wider range to control stiffness via tension in the shrouds.
The UFO foiling dinghy uses this exact strategy, coupled with a kinda wishbone boom attached to the spreaders. Google it up for some images. It has a very versatile rig. There's some historical background of early wooden rigs with forward struts.[/quote]
