H/V Vega,
I do understand that you have to keep the rig balanced or you will upset thebalance of the boat. My boat isn't actually built yet. I'm in the process of designing it and then building it. I have the great advantage that I have created the design on a C.A.D program that will give me the two centers. The rig center is on roughly the same position on the X axis as the original rig (it's about 200mm further aft) but it is now lower than the original rig, but a gaff rig generally has a lower center.
I have been getting advice of several people to help with the design of the rig to ensure that it sails ok.
Regards
Steven
