Cleaning out the shed..... Again!
It's been a while, but I am finally back! (Blood work getting in the way!)
The last mini has not progressed much. Will be back on that shortly.
Started to go through the stock of sails I have and see what I can do. as last time out in Ruff-Azz was a little traumatic, (lets just say broken mast, ripped sail, Bent boom, Big bruises, loss of self esteem.... you know!)
I have this;
Then I did this;
So I can do this;
Now the question I have is when i compare to the last sail i made it is quite narrow and a lot taller.
It should be about 4.5m bit the luff length is about 4.9m. which is quite a lot longer than any mast i have.
However my question is, It is better or worse to have a taller and skinnier sail?
Without putting too much brain power into it ATM, I expect the center of pressure has moved forward, But my bigger concern is it has moved up. Would this want to make the yacht want to fall over more so?
Am i just overthinking this? Just extend a mast and go for it?
Cheers
