    172 gsm is 5 oz/sq yd which is plenty strong enough. Are you proposing to use hinges, like Weaverbird?

    Thomas, pardon for butting in here.
    Both proposed sailcloths will work, but I would no doubt choose the lighter one at 172g/m2. This will inflate and set better in very light winds.

    Camber.
    More important is that you make the sail with camber in the panels. A sail with camber in it will perform a lot better than a flat one.

    I suggest you let David specify the construction of the cambered panels. The challenge is to make the sailmaker follow David’s instructions...

    Weaverbird's sailplan with a seventh panel, 24m2. AR 2.26

    The mast is the same height as the original woodenmast, the weight should'nt be a problem.

    I've asked an estimate from a sailmaker, he propose Contender Sailcloth,  « Supercruise Coloured »  4,00 oz,  172 g/m2 or « Fibercon AP Coloured »  5.38 oz , 231 g/m² . 

    Do you think 172g/m2 will be enough for this sail ?

    Thanks !

    Thanks David, I've just scaled the sailplan to 24m², it gives something like that :


    The mast is very long, I'd liked to make a birdmouth wooden mast but perhaps it will be too heavy.

    Hello Thomas,

    Yes, I think I would want to put a Weaverbird sail on this boat. With the rudder well forward, it will be good to go with a high AR sail, and if you want to go for more than my 22 sq m, adding an extra panel will be the way to achieve that. If you can use the CAD drawing, I will send it to you.

    Hello, I've just bought a Primaat 24 in need of restoration, without a rig, and of course I want to put a junk rig on her. She's a 24ft plywood boat, approximately 1.1t of displacement. Not sure exactely what type of rig I want, perhaps a weaverbird style, 24m² (the same area as the original rig).

    I have a bit of work before starting the mast step or the partner, but I've started to think about the conversion. I hope you will help me with the rig !
