    should take you to it.The site is like any other medium for sharing information. except because it is an open site there is no need to join up log in or anything like that so am amazed how scary it is to access. We use it like a sketch book to keep the website uncluttered.

    B24 Standing Rigging and Main Sail Available

    Hi All,
    A tree landed on my mast in 2013. I have replaced the mast and rigging, but the old standing rigging is in good condition, and available if someone is in the process of building a new Bucc. Single diamond, non rotating set up to the designed height. Forestay, side stays (2) and innnerstays (4). In addition I have a full batten main sail in good/fair condition (restitched in 2012) that is available. Price cheap and negotiable, especially if you are building a new Bucc.

    PM me if you are interested.

    Best,
    Carl

    Two months for the plans as we have a build slot available then to get the building work done on it.
    Beam updades just posted in the usual place. Beams and floats are about ten hours away from being finalized in cad.

    Make it sense to use carbon parts on the buc?

    I would use carbon to replace tangs and chainplates etc to minimise holes in the boat, it spreads loads better too.

    You could but it is overweight for the purpose, the essence of a good Bucc is keeping weight down.
