Put it wherever you want. If it doesn't work, you'll change it soon enough. Slightly shorter sprit is maybe stronger.

Alright thats what i thought.

Btw, I hope that you and the other posters dont feel like i ignored your suggestions of a nicer (more proven) boat. I would enjoy to build a much nicer boat, and i know that they would be a better option. But as im only going to be sailing once or twice for a few hours every so often, i cant justify putting that much more money and effort into the project. Also, if we were to build a bigger boat there wouldnt be a need for two of them and sailing together/having fun is kind of our goal right now.

In the future i will most certainly build a much nicer boat, but for now these are little more than a swimming pool toy.

Thanks for all your help again!

Chiko
