Hi, Tim That's a very broad question. What do you want to do with your boat, how big do you want it, do you have a material preference for the construction,...
Hi. That depends on how big your panels are, and in which strength of wind you will sail!. Tell me , and I will help you. Victor ... From: bennettk2000 To:...
6 battens, 3 ft panels, 35 knot max and rare, plan to sleeve in black plastic pipe if i can find correct size. I would also think that hinges would help reduce...
first, thank you for your help, I am also calculating mast dia. plan to use steel, thinking of 5 or 6 inch schedule 10, will this be good enough (27 ft above...

Hi Bennett Your steel mast should be 16cm outside dia. at partners, and ca 7cm at the top. Wall thickness 4mm, Can be redused to 3mm 2.6m above deck. Can be...
can the diameter vary along the mast to taper it? (with your given wall thicknesses at your given heights?) also should I err on the thicker side with...

Steve: I finally got around to playing with the new version of Sailcut8. So far it has worked without a problem, I appreciate the work that you have done. I...
... That is where I'm headed. The Van Loan style was an interesting experiment since the basic setup is a full size layout by intersecting a couple of lines...
... Sailcut should be able to make "Reddish" sails as well. Robert and I discussed this a while back. Completely free input seems pointless if you are also...
... I think that Bolger was guilty of loose construction of the sentence. Given the context (that is, the book) my assumption is that he is talking about the...
... I don't understand. Are you saying that cambered panels must all have a uniform batten length? What if I wanted to make a cambered Colvin sail where all...
... What I'm doing is to set up a tabbed dialog for the sail. One tab per panel. Bottom panel has Boom, Batten, Luff, Leech, Foot Angle, probably a little...
