    That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for generously sharing it!

    Kevin,

    If you go to the Member's Area and navigate to 'your files>drawings', you should be able to browse through everything I've done, all freely available on a "use at your own risk" basis.

    There's a generic Fantail sail drawing on page 2, but I'll attach it here as well.

    Are David Tyler’s “Fantail” sail proportions still available through JRA? The links I found in the forums are not functional.

    I have been doodling a junk rig conversion. So far a Reddish sail seems to balance best, primarily because the low AR puts the center of effort well aft. The fantail outline might not balance due to the higher AR, but it is pretty and I have never seen a picture of the sail when it was not set and drawing well so it is worth a try.

    Mr. Tyler, if you are selling the sailplan (and why not?) let me know how to proceed, please.

    Finally, if this has been covered in detail elsewhere, my apologies. I missed it.
