Decide on a sail maker sail.

If I choose a couple of standard (common dinghies) sails. Can the sail maker
(dealer) tell
1. how large mast bending it's designed for (his standard CAD pattern for
that dinghy)?
2. if it's a weak or strong wind sail?

3. Is it usually possible to choose the sails reef technique and /or
fastening method?

4. Can a tube GRP mast match an aluminum one in matter of stiffness? ...or
will it get way to big radius to match?

Decisions right now.

1. decide /fix sail area. (Bermuda sloop, main + jib)
Present alternative 10m2 (115sqft) gives SA/D-ratio

1pers minimum load = 23
main design weight = 18
max design weight = 14


2. Main loose or fix foot


3. Finding a combination of standard sails to use.
Including choosing stiff or bendy mast and design material.
