h16's already are close to block to block (on the mains)?I also machined the rudder castings to allow more rake and drilled some EPOs to make use of that. I am not decided on the results.
That's rudder rake, not mast rake. I have read since then the Aussies are doing it as well.
My Hobie 21 SE:
Sails are delaminating quite a bit but they still power up okay. I have new sails still in the bags for it but I'm waiting to put them on until after I've done some righting practice with the boat. Need to rig the pole up and then I'll flip it over close to shore on a calm day and see if I can get it over with just my wife and me.

How are you going to flip it over? I am a new SE owner here in Germany and wonder how you passively capsize for testing.

It's easy enough to flip over. If you're in shallow water make sure to pull the wings off before you start!
Get a couple people pulling on the trap lines and pull it over slowly. Can also get a third to grab the mast as it's coming over to keep it going slow.
We had to do it recently with the 21 when a storm blew in with sustained 40mph and gusts to 60. Was safer to get it over on it's side pointed into the wind than worry about a gust flipping it and damaging the mast.

Thanks. Living in Atlanta and being a fan of salt water, I will sail anytime I can get to a coastline. Lately, its been Jacksonville, Destin, and the Tampa Bay area (all Florida).
wow quite a drive to get to a coast from Atlanta, im about 15 minutes from Sarasota bay.

That may be, but I bet I get much more out of my time on the water, as you will when you reach my age. As was famously said, old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill.

Woa!! Matrix 5.5 looks like a wicked boat!! Very nice!
The Mystere 6.0 is the wicked boat and having had a little time on one I can see why you say proud owner .
Their design is very much like a Matrix only twenty five or thirty years later... I know you enjoy yours as my friend enjoys his here in Daytona ...
Here's a video of my N20 made recently with my girl.
