Is it possible to upgrade the front crossbar on a '77 with the latest version with the integrated track? I would imagine since the new crossbar allows for a more aggressive rake I would need:

- new forestay
- new shrouds
- new jib traveler parts
- new main blocks
- adjust rudder rake

Would the crossbar swap out cleanly or are the frame corners different?

Skip the crossbar and do the step casting, mast base and the rest of the parts mentioned.

Crossbars swap easily... in fact its the only kind available. But, the rest of the stuff is more important.
