| Sail & Rigging plan for 44' ketch Ok, so now with Mike's (and others) help, I've almost cokpleted the calcs to establish the mast sizes etc. for my 44' Ketch. (Westlawn Lesson) Now comes the Sail and Rigging plans. It's my intention to incorporate boom-furling for both main and mizzen and a furling headsail. Any suggestions about where I might find good examples of similar drawings...? So many ropes, wires, winches and stuff - why don't you guys just give over to progress and buy a boat with engines....!?! ![]()

| cokpleted....... LOL! "So many ropes, wires, winches and stuff - why don't you guys just give over to progress and buy a boat with engines....!?!" ...because when you turn off the noise and smell, so you can listen to the sea and the wind and breathe the fresh air....... the boat stops! - It's the difference between driving through the mountains and hiking or cycling in them. Sorry, getting all misty eyed there Anyway ...roller furling everything.... http://www.marten-spars.co.nz/gallery.html http://www.boomfurl.com/ http://www.leisurefurl.co.nz/leihome.html http://www.profurlusa.com/ Helps ? |

| Thanks Paul, the links were of great help. (Somehow just new I'd get a rise out of you with the 'no sails' routine.... Liked your hiking analogy too - but just try telling the family that for their next holidays they have to walk to Paris...! ![]()
