I made that assumption, and did acquire a Force 5 sail as mast compatible, even though it is larger by a few square feet. That can be amended, I believe.

Hansen's sails may still be the ticket, with some adjustments...

As for the Laser Radial rig on the 5 mast, that is intended for the kids and some play...

I see Bill Hanson picked up on this and will have to email him next day or so...then we get to it.
