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. -- vriendelijke groeten/kind regards, Jelle begin msblaster.pif |
