[quote=MN3]I think you have the 21 SE and the 21 SC confused.
The SE has a 33' mast - 5' shorter than a hobie18 and 60 sqfeet less sail area.
This would be a significant downgrade
hobie 20 sc
Mast Length: 29'
Sail Area: 222 Sq. Ft.
hobie 20 SE
Mast Length: 33'
300 sq
Hobie 18
Mast Length: 28'1"
240 ft2
You can contact spar shops to see what a new extrusion would cost but it's gonna be a few grand I would guess.
[quote]It sounds like you are trying to get on the water inexpensively, which I commend. Not only will you need the H21 spar, but the sails as well so you are getting into some $ there. You are not really losing much sail area with the 18 rig, you could add a square top main to squeeze in a little more power. [/quote][/quote]
