The best reason is that if you decide you want a new dock box, you just go jousting for one in someone else's slip, like my buddy just did:
Jousting..jpg Actually, it was the first time ever his Luke prop didn't open! Bill Coleman C&C 39 There are some really, really good reasons for the fixed sprit: 1- We can make it stiffer. That will be important for Code 0s and kites in big breeze. 2- It helps the rating a ton. 3- Some of the early buyers have expressed interest in racing HPR. A fixed sprit is a requirement of the HPR Rules. 4- At the speed this boat will go, keeping the bow seal watertight will be pretty much impossible. That's ok I guess around the cans. You can just bail between races. Offshore, not having a big hole in the front is appealing to me. The sprit will be easy to flip up at the dock, or remove for the road. No need for a 40' slip.
