: Hi John

: A picture paints it does it not. That sail will be no problem what so ever.
: You should have got it for five dollars, but it is going to be a much
: easier proposition for your purposes.

: I was a little concerned for you. A modern sail is a small handful of
: dinamite. Very controlable in the hands, but nice to be able to ditch in a
: crisis.

: The downhaul tention mentioned previously is not an issue with the sail
: pictured either.

: Clamp on booms will not rotate 90 degrees up the mast like an old rope on one
: will. If y ou want to furl that way. Newer booms may be too short in any
: case as you may note from the picture.

: I don't use my little trimiran nearly as much as I should. Paddling and
: windsurfing have quicker set-up times and so are easier options, but aint
: these experiments fun???

: Et

: PS mostly I sit on my tri. Standing is only for very light airs.

Hi Et,

Have a question about the mast supports you made for the tri. Am I correct in assuming you used the clamp from a boom for the mast attachment?
