• So for the next boat definitely use the same rig, no contest. Rake the mast further aft and plan to move the shroud chain plates further aft. Spend some of the money saved in not having batten cars, boom, lazy jacks, sail covers, vangs, topping lifts, main halliards, main sheets, battens, reefing winches etc, etc, etc, on light weight headsails. Fatten the hull sections forward. Rake the bow a lot. Lift the run aft a couple of inches at station number 9. Design for a little more displacement...stiffen the main beam......build the bottom step at the transom higher............

According to Wikipedia

• A mast aft rig, alternately referred to as aft-mast rig, is a sailboat sail-plan that uses a single mast set in the aft half of the hull. The mast supports fore-sails that may consist of a single jib multiple staysails, or a crab claw sail. The mainsail is either small or completely absent. Mast aft rigs are uncommon, but are found on a few custom, and production sailboats.
