Whoops!
Additional question
1) I'm probably not going to be able to do afford a staysail this year or be able to do the structural work to the deck to make it work. But I'd like to plan the mast so that it's possible in the future. A friend who has basically rebuilt a triton the way I'd like to build mine apparently has some sort of carbon fiber reinforcement below deck that links to the stem, but he does not use the v berth. I'd like to keep my v berth useable. I'm wondering about a carbon beam that goes athwartships under the deck, over the v berth and spreads the load, but not sure if it would need to be tied into the stem or if I brought it out as far as the hull deck joint if that would be adequate.
