Consider a tall rig unless you sail in ‘hurricane gulch’ type waters. The tall rig is 21” taller. Very little if any downside in heavy air at all, and substantial benefits in all conditions up to 17-20 knots windspeed, above that 1st reef, full headsail (@ 135% you are good to mid twenties) Ask Mr Montgomery for his opinion.
Good luck, have fUn, go sail!

Contact Dwyer Alum Mast Co for the new mast and boom.
For details on the rest of the rig great information in the MSOG Facebook group. Here is a link to a PDF that has many of the M17 rig specifics -

For more Q&A I recommend using the FB group and easy to discuss and share pictures. I and other other moderators/admin keep close tabs on the posts so no spam/scams.
