The problem, at the moment is more about wich sails may be put together
combined with a reasonable home made mast (tube-GRP)


A stiff mast in GPR will weigth to much or be too bendy, glass is just too
elastic for that purpose. If you want to build the mast yourself, I'd try a
wood/carbon/epoxy setup. Wood for ease of construction (otherwise you need
to make a mandrel/plug first) and for compression, carbon for stiffnes and
epoxy to glue it all together with some margin for error.

besides, I'd go fo a balanced lug for ease of handling. Just one sail,
relatively easy to make and no long spars or mast needed. You wont get a
high aspect ratio with it, but you should not strive for that on your boat
anyway.
