I have an 81' Prindle 16 with a mast and standing rigging, but no mainsail. I also have a prindle 18 rig and sails.
Could I put the prindle 18 mast on the 16 with the 18 sails? What effect would it have besides more power and weight aloft?
What is the mast height difference? Could I cut off the top of the prindle 18 sail, sew in another diagonal batten and reinforcing, and have a flattop mainsail for the 16?
