Re: Building tiny tri for Grandson while waiting for marine ply for 520

Hi Michael
See again the photo from the green tri. There you can see the fuller (roller). See drawing 22 (mast extension). There is at the right the furler.? As mast, you can use an Al tube with a length of 5500 mm. As mast, we use in France windsurfing masts. They have the diameter to fit into the extension.
Best regards
Bernd

Hi Michael
Nice to hear that your tri is coming along. To your questions
Drawing 1/3? The sail is a fat head sail. So the top line is the end of the sail.? The black line is a seam. You need soft sail battens like on the Hobie mirage tandem is using for the same rig.? The battens are also wound around the mast
Drawing 2 You need a fang to stabilize the wishbone boom. The drawing shows how to bend and build the free rotating fang rope holder. (see also attached photo.
Have fun?

I have the tri mostly built but do not understand the sail drawings .Attached can you explain the parts. I do not understand the furling system. Can the sail be lowered unfurled?
Thanks
