By the time I was ready to go, it should have stretched the topsides enough to fit me nicely.  Keelstepped mast would be important here.
Good Luck. Hope this helps....  |
...something about this just doesn't sound right to me. i'm not sure i would want to put the boat under that type of stress. and i think i would just end up damaging the boat more than anything. thanks for the suggestion though.
