Matt,

you probably need to adjust your leech length if the gaff angle is too large. Remember that the shape you see in Sailcut isn't neccesarily the same as the flying shape. Use your judgement!

I dont like the headplate on square tops, it ruins the profile.
When you design jibs, remember to correct the jib for forestay sag, and match your luff curve to your mast bend characteristica.


All comments are appreciated..

The spi is just conceptual as of yet. I want to build a 1:10 model first to see the the flying shape. Hope to get to it during christmas..
