| completing my boat I just aquired a 26 ft sharpie schooner. It has 2 masts , one 14 ft 8 in above the deck , the other about a foot shorter. Also came with 2 yolk style booms and one that might be the top of a gaff rig . Thats it.. No sails or hardware ( or clues for me ) This is my first contact with sailboats and it is really generating some interest with me . My problem is I cannot locate ANY information on completing what appears to be someone elses project.Is there a book or site anywhere that tells me how to determine what sails to get , or how to attach them to a mast that doesnt have a rail ?I have " the sharpie book " but it is no help here.Thanks for any guidance.......Brian |

| Chapelle has several books on traditional and working sailing craft. It has many rigging details and sail plans. A gaff rig in a sharpie that size is unusual. Normally they would have self standing masts with Bermudian rigs up to 38' LOA or so.
