Hi All, I have bought a cheap boat to experiment with junk rigging, its a 40' ferro
wilf O'keele design. professionally made in 82-84.
the hull shows no sign of error. and has a certain charm. it has an aft cabin, and center cockpit. overall the roofs and cabin needs replacing, and the engine needs renovation.
basically, it needs work. but its perfect for a first yacht, and i look forward to doing it up.
as I am looking into junk riggs, I am interested in finding out what sort of mast heights i will need for two masts on a 40' ferro?
i imagine it needs a fair bit of power... I am sending letters to pole companies, getting quotes, so i am looking for specific info such as height, taper, wall thickness etc...
should i get steel, aluminium, or if the price is off the wall, ill make them from wood.
many thanks for input, and ill put up a few photos soon soyou can chart my progress...
many thanks
