Posts: 1,383 Kingston SE South Australia | Is there a design for these sails yet? I watched that sailrite making your own sails thread with interest, is it possible to order sails to sew together myself and if so is it worth the effort? regards

Posts: 1,383 Kingston SE South Australia | Did that include them doing the development on the sail or did you supply the specs on what you wanted? Im mainly asking this as not only do I need two mains for the F12's but as I build more cats I would also like to have various size sails to suit different crews at the club regards

Posts: 435 Finland | What I did was to go to the lokal sailmaker (North Sails)with the drawing that Scarecrow supplied. He designed the sail from that for no extra costs. I got the first sail for half of the price mentioned above. As they do everything by special computer programs there is no big deal to make a set of differents sizes. If there is a local sailmaker working with North Sails you could try to contact him and tell him that there is a design i North Finland, maybe he can get the specs from there.

Unregistered | That price is in the ball park but a little high. I would have hoped for a bigger discount on second generation sails.
Jeff the sail plan in your plan set is enough for any experianced sail maker to build your sail to. A good sail maker will take the dimensions supplied on the sail plan, combine it with data for your boat and produce the sails. | | | Re: F12 sail area

Unregistered | The best Australian quote I've had to date is AUS$650 including battens. I won't pass on details here but people can feel free to contact me for details. | | | Re: F12 sail area

Unregistered | Gato, have you measured the bend of your carbon mast yet? Any comparisons with an equivalent aluminium mast? Ncik designed bend numbers with mast supported at step and hounds were: 10kg at head. 38.3mm fore-aft deflection 114mm side deflection 10kg midway between supports 16.4mm fore-aft 49mm side ways From memory Gato nailed the transverse numbers, but ended up a little stiffer longitudinally due to his double barrel sail track. I kept the rig reasonably soft sideways to help it lay off a little in gusts to auto-depower, however, from Gato's experience I believe we could get away with a little more stiffness. I've been meaning to re-engineer to remove the spreaders but payed work keeps getting in the way. | | |
