[Rhodes22-list] IMF Mast & Sail

[Ric Stott]

Happy New Year Rhodies ! 
I have a few questions - - - 
Sorry if I’m repeating myself. 
I received favorable replies to my previous question about the value of the change. 
To reiterate. 
I have the opportunity to convert my 1986 Continental Rig to and IMF mast and main sail. 
There is a mast for sale in Mass. for $500  and a mainsail somewhere else for $400.
The mast, spreaders, furling tube  and boom are apparently complete except for the shrouds. 
I happen to have a spare set of shrouds from yet another Continual style mast I have.
The Sail is 2009 vintage.  I assume it will cast a few hundred dollars in spare parts or part changes, like the pop top connector, electrical/lights connector changes, etc. 
Questions:
Are the shrouds the same for both Continental and IMF masts?
Any other parts I should be aware of that might need replacing? 
Where can I find IMF sail rigging guide? 
Is there a vertical batten in all or just some of them? 
Are they flat or round? 
Does that matter? 
Any issues with old sails and furling? 
Thank you and  HAPPY NEW YEAR!
