I have been storing pictures of bouts with features I like so when I start my boat I will incorporate them into mine. I have some of a boat in Florida with blue hull and hatchâs with white topside. In some pics the boat has a single jib but in others it looks to be rigged for two jibs (I believe this make it a cutterï). In order to do this the bow sprint must be extended right? So what Iâm thinking of doing is making the bow sprint detachable so that in the future I could run two jibs by easily replacing the sprint. Is this a good idea?

Brian,
That would be Craig Gleason's boat the Sara Lee or Mike Pennington's boat the Aurora Wolf. Both added spars and sails to their rig with very good results. you can get to both of them through this site and PM.

Both did some real good modifications for more sail area.
Hi Brian, I have two forestays on my Vacationer, with a stock length bowsprit.
