Yes, though my boat is a 79, the previous owner kept it in very good condition and did change the mast to comptip. The only problem I had while experimenting with reefing was the the track for the gooseneck goes down to the base of the mast, and whenever I try to reef the sail, the gooseneck just slides all the way down to the base of the mast. I a still trying to figure out if there is anyway I could prevent that, or even if reefing is necessary.
