Might I ask where the position of the mast on a fractional rig is in relation to the LWL or OAL, which ever applies? And compared to the position of a masthead rig?
From pictures I''ve seen it appears to be in the 30-40% foreward section. And if so, how is the mast stepped over the keel, which appears to be on the centerline abeam (the keel that is)?
Also, are there any mast height differences between the fractional and the masthead rigs and is it much trouble converting a masthead to a fractional rig? Which I''ve been contemplating, obviously.
Thanks, ......Del
