Berndt, will the 50 mm mast be strong enough if made with solid meranti? I plan to glue 4 quarters together.? I will send the article. Cheers Philip Malan

Hi Philip
Sorry to hear that you broke your mast. Hold the mast as short as possible. Good thing is, that Latin sails do not need a long mast.
I like your sail. I was thinking in the same direction. The sail would be even more effective with a sleeve. And not only that. A lot faster to rig.
I made also some sketches, but somehow they disappeared in my file jungle.?
By the way. I like your article. Could you send him to Duckworks and "Smal boats magazin" The later has already puplished an article from the ECO 5.5 power cat.?
Cheers
Bernd
