    raising the boom

    Mike,
    I don't really know.
    It's a pretty small main.

    Also at the same time I asked him to do the geometrics and areas on flying jibs on a three foot bowsprit. That lowers the original stay on the stem to a baby stay position on the mast and moves centers of efforts around.

    If you are interested in seeing the Ariel-as-a-cutter math I'll make a copy and send it to you. The sail plan retains Alberg's original circle-and-crosses.

    Maybe you can make sense of it from a sailor's point of view.

    I would really like to see it CRITQUED.
    (I don't mean necessarily by you unless you want to of course - but by ED or Craig, say, who look at sails a lot.)
