We need a new folder on this website, called boat, rig and sail database, or something, where each member (in a .doc or .pdf format) can write up their own boat(s) in dry numbers and with comments on how the components have stood up in use. Personally I would also like to see a listing of parrels and sheets used, and how – but that’s me... Until The Formula of Everything is ready (Einstein failed to find it), this database would be a tremendous help for people who want to fit or improve a junkrig. Just by looking up boats of similar displacement and rig type in that database, they would soon be able to lash up a good rig without too much wild guessing on scantlings.

I like this idea very much, Arne. I'm not sure how best to implement it, so can those with computer skills discuss it here?
