    Thank you Jan. Well, it is November. I'm waiting for a less gusty and more friendly weekend at the moment.

    It is the original sail plan David drew for "my" SibLing. I'm not that much into the theory of the Junk Rig. It's to some extent beyond my attention span what x% more balance or x° less yard angle will do, and to be honest, I was a bit sceptical at first because my eyes are used to the more common PJR derived sails. But while building the sail, reading the active threads here and generally looking at sails from a different point of view, I thought a lot about forces pulling there or masses pushing somewhere else and stuff like that :)
    So I think I have an idea of David's intentions regarding the sail design and I have to say I really like it.

    Best of luck with the first sail!

    If you find the time you could tell us about your rationale for the sail design. (I like it!).

    Yes, thank you Paul.

    First impression of the finished sail. After work, there is less than an hour of daylight left to set up the sail. So it will take a few days. I will probably sail the boat this weekend :)

    The sail isn't 100% finished yet, but I couldn't resist raising it for a preview.

    I just spotted that Frank posted another update on his blog a few days ago, as he continues to make more progress than he writes that he's done;-)

    Boat is in the water, mast stepped

    Thank you all for the kind words!

    I temporarily stepped the mast today, the icicle hitch works. I will do the remaining work in the water and don't intend to crane the boat out again (ever :).

    Wow, looks great!

    Also, you've been so clever to laminate the pre-tube to an already flat laminated grp plate. I wasn't, and had to laminate in a second step upside down...

    Very nice! 

    Paul
