Highlander,
Where are the two forestays attached? To the same hound or did you put in a second hound, one of the forestays would have to be longer to reach that bow extension.

I added a second mast hound approx 3/4 up the mast I did not have to lenghten the original genoa forestay all I did was add one of these approx 8" quick releases under the furler drum & that gave me the extra length I needed to come out 3ft onto the 4ft bowsprit. The next movie will show the full mast rigging I'll post later tonight but I'm out in the boonies & only have dail-up & it takes about 1hr to upload one short movie

Lovely looking set-up. Obviously a lot of work gone in there.
Just one question: Why is the stay-sail sheeted in so close? It looks like it is hooking to windward in a big way.

Ahh, the joys of re-designing and building your own boat! Glad to hear it's going well though.Highlander wrote:Its been a bigger project than I first thought
I knew I've been offline quite awhile, but my post above makes me realize I haven't been around since August! My how time flies...
Take care.

Hi Kevin
Beginning to think the admiral had you shackled to the basement floor or something
How's them wrist's doing ok takes awhile I know
Boats coming along real good look at my new 26 m pedestal posting for more pic's . I'll be posting pic's of my new 350sq ft custom made spinnaker in the spring keep you posted think with the v bottom hull she should plane up pretty good
I hope
I made a slight change to your whl conversion I used the original rudder linkage top arms & fabricated a brkt on the starboard side stern pic posted in above mentioned posting
Take Care
