[quote=davefarmer]If you hold out for a stayless mast for simplicity reasons, you're gonna sacrifice performance, with the exception of the Weta, which is probably out of your price range. Building a gin pole to assist in mast raising really minimizes the effort and risk, makes it easy to raise and lower the mast by yourself, and opens your choices to include a bunch of older cats that can deliver the zip you're looking for. Do put some thought into the issue of self righting if you're going to solo powered up(think righting pole or solo-right).
