    Thank you Arne. Paul Thompson has offered to draw it up for me using his 45 degree panel method.

    You do write a good article. :)

    Hi Gary.
    The sailplan for the Hartley TS-16, which I made in 2016, was a little un-finished, so now I rewrote it  and redrew the diagram in QCAD, and then added four individual sheets of diagrams. Sheet 2 and 3 have the essential numbers to loft the panels (if using the barrel panel method), and sheet 4 shows the positions and lengths of the batten pockets.

    Hopefully, these sheets will lower the threshold for bringing out the sewing machine.. Just follow Chapter 5 in TCPJR.

    Good luck!
    Arne

    If the BM rig is usable I plan to sail it while I prepare the JR, which I realised will give me the opportunity to compare the two rigs.

    I've discovered Roger Barnes on Youtube, wonderful stuff.

    For this boat, basically a dinghy with a cuddy, 2oz ripstop would be fine. Storm spinnaker or code zero cloth, as Paul says.

    Maybe this would suit you?

    Thanks David,  I did look at that site and liked the colour. I  thought it would be too light, I guess not. :)

    That would be perfect but like I said, you will need to pay attention to the reinforcements.  

    BTW, Weathermax LT is 6oz and still rather too heavy.  One of the big mistakes in many junk sails is that the cloth is too heavy. Of course it let's you get away with sloppy sail making techniques but you pay when your light air performance goes out the window.

    I'd also urge you to use the shelf foot method to build the shape into the panels. If you need, I can work out the shapes for you.


    I'm game but you will have to walk me through the process. :)
    For sure.

    Where do we start? I can't buy the material till next month though.

    Here's a low res image of the sail plan, which might help.

    The sail area is 16.7 sq m.

    Information taken from NZ Trailer Yacht Association website

    https://www.nztya.nz/designs-d-j.html

    the page is a bit untidy, -- select "Hartley Pg 3"

    or click here

    I am away from home at present but can get some better images later if you want.

    This used to be an iconic NZ design, most of them home built, but few people build anything these days and you don't see so many around now. It was one of the first trailer yachts around, and I think it was this design of Richard Hartley's which gave us the term "trailer sailer".

    Good luck with it.
