The H14T I picked up already has a furling system on it. The mast has an ungodly amount of rake to it compared with the standard H14 a couple yards down the beach.
Would you be racing the F14 class with both the r/f jib and r/f hooter rigged?
$225 is a great price for a new H14 jib, but I'm trying to find a used one for ~$100 or less. Mostly, I want the jib to balance the boat with all the mast-rake it has (even when adjusted to the top hole on the side-stays) so it doesn't even have to be furling.
I'll be selling this boat cheap (or giving it to a friend) when I build my F14, so I don't want to sink much $$$ into it.

I did the side-stay reinforcments today. I used bow shackles at the stay adjusters like in your picture, and 1/4"x3" stainless eye-bolts through 1/2" diameter aluminum rod about 6" long for the deck-lip mount. I tied it up with some extra length of dacron halyard line from my G-Cat parts can. It was a fun little project only requiring a hacksaw and portable drill and a couple hours on the beach as all the tourists kept asking me questions about the boat.
