Halyards, up? down? Hmmm....I wonder where that came from LOL. James, Regarding the sail area - 54 sf should work ok but you might also want a little more...
I am mightily impressed! Doug, that sprit sail and jib look GREAT. Why is that a sprit and not a gaff? I thought a gaff rig had a top yard and a boom while a...
54 Should be just fine. In my opinion, sailing tactics, reading the wind, and making mistakes was the major factor in the placement. If I could just...

Depends on the length of the mast and the size of the sail area. 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" should be plenty stout (and heavy) for anything you are going to fly. You...
2.5" square at the base, taper to 1.5 square on a 12' mast with a square type sail, should be fine. If you are going higher, would suggest tapering down to 1"...
