thats a yes for both. the sail will be fine as long as the material hasnt been subjected to to much sun. From memory you are sailing on beaches, so maybe a recut to 4.5m by having a longer foot , say 1.4-1.5m rather than the 1.2m I usually use. your probably going to have to make some batten pockets from the offcut material. do you plan on having a go at the sailmaking yourself?. there were some minis built a while back in Mackay? and they did the sails, which were a similar age and style, themselves so there might be some local help available that base extension would be fine as the bottom re-eforcing for the mast. I would be inclined to put a couple of wraps of glass a the joins as well as the mast is a bit old,
could you move this thread to the sailmaking section so it doesnt get lost please hillsy
