Sail Arrived!

Hey guys,

It's been a few weeks since my last posting. The sail arrived last week and I put it on the boat for a preliminary fitting. The launching should be very soon. I finished and installed the nameplate today. ("CHARLOU"). I am not sure how the reefing goes though. I think that it follows a zig-zag pattern, but does the reefing line go around the mast or just through the grommets?

Here is a pic:

cant you take a closeup of the gooseneck, take a pic of the mast boom fitting please a high resolution one and it's a good idea not to reef til the sail reaches its working shape, )

 

Good going FlyDog. Gotta be getting anxious eh?

What do you have building now Steve?

I hope FlyDog does a image-text sequence on his build. Fun to watch the progress

Take care.

Once again, I’m a captive fan
You must be really proud of your efforts, Flydog
Well done, lad!!

 

Got mine today when I woke up...this is a generic 4 sided sail of 75 sq ft to be used on whatever I build between 10-15 ft long. I ordered it for Guppy...which is still barely past the stitching stage. I'm a bit stuck on making the keel and floors.
