    Hi to everyone,

    I am quite new in boatbuilding and have decided to build the D4 Dinghy as my first project. Beside that the plan is free, I can aquire all the materials needed locally and the building time is low. The only thing that is not clear to me is the dimension of the Marconi Sail and rigging specially the length of the mast and the boom The text are blured and are hardly readable.
    Has anyone got the detail dimension of this? It would really be great if anybody can furnish me the information or where can I get it!

    Thanks and regards,


    Erwin
