Dinghy Sprit Rig plans wanted
Hi-
I'm looking for plans for a Sprit Rig for the 8 foot Sabot Dinghy that I'm building. Any advice on where I can find plans etc for this type of rig would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob |

I don't know offhand of specific plans but if you find a photo or drawing of the boat on the Internet or in a book from the public library, you can measure the dimensions, knowing for reference that the boat is 8 ft long. I've seen library books which describe the way the sprit is attached to the sail. There is a file on sprit sails, and some photos of simple sprit sails I've made, on my webiste at www.ncf.ca/~ag384/Boats.htm. I've been making sprits sails with mast sleeves that rotate around the mast. They're kind of interesting for stability downwind, ie. no broaching or dead man's roll. I was out testing a modification to the lastest sail yesterday. "Bob" ) writes: Hi- I'm looking for plans for a Sprit Rig for the 8 foot Sabot Dinghy that I'm building.
