Dennis, Easy is a relative term. There don't appear to be any "off the shelf" removable sprits, particularly for old boats. So I imagine it would be custom fabrication. A friend of mine races on a Kerr 50 last summer and they has such an arrangement, complete with multiple sprits for different ra

PHRF is a funny thing. At some point the max genoa without penalty went from 150% to 155%. And of course your sail maker is going to tell you bigger is better. The c&c 34/36 track seems to have been designed for the small sail, so the sail maker had to cut the clew super low so I could get the pro
