Thanx much for the encouragement. I'm sure the design will be eggzactly" what we're seeking. We'll be meeting with Jerry over the weekend. Sorting out deck issues, ports, etc. So far Jerry, Gail and I seem to be on the same page. We opted to go with a backstay. A little longer to rig, but far more strength and control over the shape off the main and better for the spinnaker option. We looked into a cast bronze centerboards, but they were very expensive, we'll more than likely go with a cast lead ballast in a fiberglass centerboard. I would guess that we would also offer a full keel option ( a la Motu Iti) for those with interest. It is exciting, although the only pressure is that Jerry want to sail the proto in July. Gail and I usually do things slowly and carefully. sal M15 - "Justus" - 1986 - #361 M23 - #2 - being built In a message dated 4/20/2010 9:23:36 P.M.
