[quote=robert.netsch]Hello All,
I'd like some advice on the best option for putting a smaller mast/sail on a 21SE. Where I live it is windy more than its not windy and my preference is to be able to handle 20-30 when it pops up..and be somewhat family friendly. Racing and maximum performance is not a goal. Having fun when its blowing is.
Also I'd prefer to have a bit less bulk to deal with, esp in terms of mast stepping.
In my area there are some 18 masts available and a mast from a Miracle 20.
The Miracle 20 mast is 31' long, I think, so maybe still a bit on the big side? The 21SE mast is 33', so that's just a 2' reduction.
I'm leaning toward an 18 mast which at 28' seems like the right step down. I'd then get a nice set of modern sails for it. But before I pull any triggers I'd like to get some knowledgable input.
Also, I have to think that a Getaway rig would be going too far down the scale?
Thank You,
Robert Netsch

ps - this also means that I'll have a 21SE mast/boom/sail that is no longer needed[/quote]
