[quote=MN3]I think you are much better off purchasing new sails that changing your sail plan with a new mast
that being said the 5.7 can be sailed with or without a boom
i sail with a guy who had a 5.0 gcat turbo (one of the last ones built to f16 standards for the f16 worlds a few years ago) that was hit by lightning and destroyed. he purchased a supercat16 that came with a hobie18 mast.
he replaced the mast with his gcat wing mast, and had 1' welded to the bottom to make it the correct height and had the correct mast base welded onto the mast - point is, anything is possible -
PS he is an engineer and did lots of calculations prior.
i still think you could - but why? get sails made for your boat - it will probably have better results in the end[/quote]
