Loose footed gaff there is another pulls furter up the mast (threaded wrong one ) may alter it a bit though Cutting down a mainsail of a folk boat at the moment just working on it 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Ive got some cream sail cloth some books and some needles if you want it, with the second pully do you intend to reef by dropping the mast ? Not realy put to in as thought top of mast may put too much sail on to hold but didn't want the mast any shorter as it doubles as a support for the cover / tent for when we camp overnight I don't think we will ever put up much sail and then proberably only sail downwind the flat bottom and using a paddle as a keel limits its sailing ability Thanks for the offer of the cloth and book however I do have a client with access to all the equipment local So that's sorted All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudpatten Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I like the way you`ve mounted the sculling crutch on the side deck. Completely novel and looks very strong.

Glad you like it we will see how it performs I may need a larger rollick or thinner oar to get the best from it a bit of fine tuning may be needed World wide patent applied for 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 What length oars are you using? A longer oar means you can keep the sculling arm lower. Shall we firm up on a date when the wind stops blowing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we firm up on a date when the wind stops blowing? Pick a tide and day that suites then I can blame the wind on you proberably best for a weekend date 😋 Oar is about 7 foot I think it's a personal thing depends a lot on your build and arm strength I doubt 2 people would be happy with the same length or position so a bit of tweaking may be nessesary All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
