OK.
Do you get your wing mast sticking a bit?
Perhaps my bearings are too rough as the boom comes round when you pull the sheets in, but the wind directly and the sails don't make the wing swing arounsd quite enough sometimes. Perhaps got too much friction in the mast in the tubes.
By the way is there a specially made ball bearing race or something in the bigger boats or are they similar with just a pvc pipe?
I wonder if you could get me some poly core, enough for a new pair of wing masts and quite a large size shelf box for under the deck leading intio the cabin - so about2-3 sheets something like that. I guess the thinnest for mast, maybe 4mm or 6mm if available. No rush, just want to start thinking on doing some more. Will need carbon too, and as a possible stock item in the design an accurate layup specific plan details would be reasonable to ask.
How is elementarry (mini transpac) coming?

Rob (and others): If you save the file to your hard drive, and then rename it to end in .doc, it will open in MS Word or compatible word processors.
Doug: Thanks for posting such a complete description. It's great to read about the details from a standpoint of someone who doesn't do the strip-plank construction on a regular basis.
