Re: Updated album CATAPROA, Harald, Germany #photo-notice/sail area


 

Harold, yes I kept the sail angles the same and basically added to the back so the boom and yard became longer as well as the mast. My mast broke Wednesday so I am going to make a solid round wood mast but shorter this time as I do not think I had to lengthen it originally. I added strengthening patches in the corners and I added a line into the seam to prevent stretching. You should add a wide seam at the front so the yard can slide in for better aerodynamics. I tied mine on but will maybe add the wide seam later. See my doc.
Feel free to ask more questions.?
Regards
Philip Malan

Hi Philip,

did you design and build the 12 sqm sail by yourself? It will be nice, to get some advice from you:)
The boom and the spar are now longer to get more sail area?

Thank you from Germany,

Harald
