    A windsurf mast with a short stub mast works really well.

    That's a really cool idea Gary - thanks. I don't think I can use it here without significant alterations, as the sails reef by rolling round the mast, but I am considering building a harryproa mini cargo/e25 and that would get me over strengthening the bottom of the windsurfer masts with more layers of composite, which I wasn't fancying.
