Hi,

I was just http://www.sponbergyachtdesign.com/ looking at his wing
masts. The idea of a stub mast with the wing mast rotating on it
appeals to me for my containerizable boat, so that I can get more sail
area. Will this work with your mast build methods and bearings? I like
the sound of your $350 bearings alot more than his $5000 bearings.

Also, what about his idea of a half-wishboom boom? If I angle the boom
up like that, I could have the clew above the hardtop over the ww
hull, and still have the sail low enough to work on at the lw hull.

Still thinking...
