how good is this upgrade? what is the advantage of this with a larger rake on the mast? If I'm replacing the shrouds and forestay, should I just go for the Aussie system? if so why? Thank you guys in advance

Reduce mast compression by 66%! The Aussie Jib Halyard Kit for the Hobie® 16 allows easier tacking, better mast rotation and consistent mast bend! Use with existing lower forestay assembly. The “fail-safe” pigtail keeps block failure from resulting in de-masting. A similar system is stock on new Hobie® 16's. Complete kit includes everything you need: hardware with all Harken blocks, 70' of prestretched line, zippered pouch and instructions. Racing class legal.
Price: $139.00
