Sounds good Rolf . 330 Lbs w wings .

The T is 370 --close enough to race evan up .

How wide do wings need to be to = the advantage 10 ft beam provides . My guess is you would need to calc hull weight plus the beam measurement difference and arrive at an equivilant {theoretically} wing size from hull distance.

ie hull weight = 100 LBS * 1.5 beam meas. dif. = 150 ft lbs .

150 ft lbs dif. equates to a 300 LB 2 crew being out .5 ft further or 300*0.5 =150

So the wing should be the beam dif 1.5 ft plus .5 or two ft total out from the hull on cat with 8,5 beam to eqalize ft lbs of righting leverage of the 10 ft beam cat --on average .


I raced H-21s in the Prosail series back in 88 with wings, they were great and much easier to trap level from , they made nice seats between races too .

One error newbys made was not tying in the wings and running spin blocks off them . When the force of the spin pulled them out you had a wing flying all over on the end of the sheet .

Dangerous ,but kinda funny to see a sailor new to wings trying to catch the wing flying 20 ft into the air .

Have fun .

I really miss sailing this time of year here in the frozen GWN .
