[Rhodes22-list] Tired of IMF

[John Lock]

Looking past the obvious "why would you do that?!" question, I wonder  
how feasible that downgrade would be?  Seems like most of the standing  
rigging would have to be resized or replaced due to differing mast  
height or attachment points.  Could you still use the same genoa?  Or  
would that also need to be resized/replaced?  Speaking from ignorance  
here...  I don't know what (if any) dimensional differences there are  
between standard and IMF rigs.

But if it were feasible, how about we just swap?  I'll take your IMF  
rig and you can have my standard rig ;-)

Cheers!
