    I wouldn't like to be too specific, but I think that you should aim for the mast to be less than 100 meters tall. 120 meters is certainly excessive.

    I'm getting ready to layout the new bulkheads in Mudita, which requires a decision for final mast placement.  Which requires a decision on sail area and aspect ratio.

    For interior design issues, I'm trying to get the mast as far aft as is practical , perhaps even saving some space forward so I can put a smallish hatch on the coach roof.   A man can dream, right?

    So the higher the AR, the further aft I can put the mast and the better my options inside.  I'm thinking that things might get a bit difficult with a 120 meter tall mast on a 10 meter boat, though.  I'm aiming to keep around 56 sq m of sail. 

    So what do we think are the practical AR and mast height limits for a split rig sail?
