[quote=MN3][quote]Do you have better pics of those custom wings? Really interested in how they were fabbed up and attached to your boat(s). [/quote]
Sure
Price is low compared to the 20k i have spent on these 2 boats, gear and sails but they are they are far from mint and as you can see, could use some attention if you care about showroom condition hulls. Every scratch on the 6.0 hurt me deeply (as it was darn near mint when i got it), but the 5.5 has served me very well and has been "thoroughly tested".
The custom trailer, wheels sail-box and almost new jib sails make this a REAL good deal in my mind -
anyway pics:
Wings pivot inboard. there is a nice and very thick-walled alum pipe welded in. there are nylon bushings to prevent wear

This is the extendable yoke, the winch is rigged on it to lift

This mast cradle has one of the 2 pins that are used to secure the front of the wing through the beam (and beamcap) there are also alum tubes as compression tubes on all 8 bolts

The aft wing attachment is a simple cotter pin through receivers welded onto the rear beam-caps
