Hi all.
My IF Orion is back in the water with her new rig
All went well. The mast fits like a glove and she floats nice empty. Slightly down by the head, with approx. 65 kg mast & fittings and 50 kg. of yard, sail & battens.
She's basically a copy of Arne Kvernelands Ingeborg with a 34,5 sq m sail and AR 2.0
The sail was made by Tuchwerkstatt in Germany. Aluminum fittings & partners by the local welder. The rest put together by myself & friends.
The next couple of days I'll be fiddling with halyards, parrels, sheetlets & what have you. Then I'll find out what this junk rig fuss is all about...
A special thanks to Arne for help & inspiration.
