I am considering building this. It can be built very inexpensively out of lumber yard materials. I think the design would be fast. The down side being the for stay strength. If it failed it would it would be catasrophic. The upside is the sail has a natural tendency to center itself, lending to the close haul used on a land yacht. I don't think it would take much effort to sheet in. I am a cabinet builder so I want to use wood to build my next yacht. Besides the strength of wood and ease of use, I just want to beat my buddy in his iron yacht. I am looking for opinions and comments.
