Hi, I think this is Rob's private email address. Or Mark's. Anyhow here is some buiding guidance that Rob was wanting, giving some time estimates and stages...
I read a letter in the latest Aust multi mag referring to the article you mention. I haven't got the original but what I did read it sounds to me you need a...
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:...
I'd like to design something soon but am busy with a number of other urgent projects at the moment. If a few people showed interested i could justify the time....
Hi Mike, Thanks for the thanks and for the computer advice, hopefully Rob will open the file as it was written on Word so I don't know what was wrong. I had a...

Una rig is a single bermudan sail on a single mast. No idea where the word comes from. The ballestron is a sloop rig (main and jib) modifies so that the jib...
Una means one, in this case presumably one sail. Dont know about sloop, but some early sloops had multiple foresails. I think the distinction between a cutter...
Greetings, This is a hopefully useful contribution to the debate on sail formats for the HarryProa. We have sailed a Wharram Tiki 30 since the '90s, and...
