I'm confused with the rigging and main sail options for used SO 45 DS.
In material from Jeanneau, it seems to be two options:
* Standard furling main: 39.6 sqm
* Performance (classic, non-furling) main: 52 sqm
However, on the used market there appear boats that have a classic (non-furling) main but not the performance version. From a charter agency having one of these, I have also got the info that it has the same mast height as the furling main (but this is not verified, although I have actually seen their papers on this mast being ordered as a "classic mast", i.e., not "furling mast" or "performance mast", which is what the 2010 brochure gives to chose from).
Hence, my questions are simply:
* has the SO 45 DS come with some other classic mast than the performance version during some years (2008 and 2009?)?
* if so, what is the mast height, and in particular, main sail size for that.
... or do you have any other information that straightens this question out?
Your help is most appreciated!
Thanks!
