Fed 5 plans/drawings/pictures
If anyone has Fed 5 plans from the past I would be willing to pay for a copy.

Also, if anyone has pictures of Fed 5 yachts please post them here.

If anyone has drawings of the Fed 5, whether factory or mods, please post them here.

I have an original Fed 5 sail which I overlay onto Windsurf sails, or any other sail for that matter, for the re-cut pattern.

If anyone wants the outline template, let me know. Includes luff curve, foot and leech.

The fastest winning U.S. sail designs are based off the original Fed 5 sail. It is rumored that Sailworks sails are a very close copy of the Fed 5 sail. I laid my sail over a Sailworks sail and could not really tell the difference. As well as Skip Elliot sails. A laser scan revealed very slight modifications, none are noticeable to the naked eye.

I still modify the luff pocket and foot of the Fed 5 sail for experimental purposes and have made 6 different sizes, 5.0, 4.0, 3.5 and a 2.5 for really windy days and 4 different configurations, all of which are very good performers but limited in the numbers of units....I've made a total of sixteen sails based on the fed 5 sail.

Please, make whatever information you have available.
