I own a Cheoy Lee 30 ft ketch, that is an H28 design. I wish to add a bowsprit
to increase my sail area which is about 345 sqft now. I also want to be able to
better balance its windward capabilities. what I need to know is will the Port
Orford cedar
beam (6x6) I have be of sufficient strength when carved down to a taperred
billet, 2.5in at the tip on a 60in length and terminating at a 5x5 in. base,
have sufficient strength for the load. The sprit will have bobstays.
thanx
