cool! a Franken 20!
How wide are you going on the beam?
How much more sail area you going for?
Well I am not sure how much I will do, I am still exploring options. At first I was looking at the Open 20 rules but now I have decided against them. I was talking with Randy Smyth about the open 20 and we (I mean he) came up with a sail plan for it. After deciding against the Open 20 we decided that the sails proposed for that class would still be a good choice and he did not see a good reason to go bigger. So my new sails will be a 214sq ft main and a 53sq ft square top jib. So 24sq upwind.
I decided I wanted to try those out before deciding on how much spin area to go with. I think I would like to have at least 2 separate spin sizes.
Beam, again not sure. It depends what options I can come up with for beams. If performance will sell me bare extrusions at a reasonable price, I think I would shoot for 10.5'. If they wont, it will be up to finding some used beams to splice which does not excite me. Carbon beams are not gonna happen.
I want to explore all (if any) options with ratings, because I want to do this mostly just for fun. I love to tinker with things that are good enough left alone, but I want to keep it fair rating wise on both sides.
