Bruce, Tod Mills had a bowsprit on his M17, but didn't care for it and removed it. I built a masthead crane for CornDog to clear the genoa furler and fly a drifter from the bow pulpit. No furler on it, though. Larry On Thu, 10 Feb 2011 16:40:41 -0800 Bruce Ward <northwave@telus.net> writes:
Has anyone built or added a bowsprit on their M17? I want to add an
additional furler for a geneker forward of the furling drum on my genoa. There is not enough room for both between the fitting and the
pulpit. I envision coming forward of the pulpit on a sprit to gain
clearance for both and avoid wrapping things. I already have a masthead crane fabrication outlined to avoid halyard wrap with the
forestay extrusion. thanks , bruce
