mjshp Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Fitting the final details before epoxy, prime and painting S10N #993. WooHooo! But as usual I have a few questions. How did you secure the working end of the halyard? A cleat on the foreword bulkhead? The plans show a cam cleat on the mast above the collar for the downhaul. How did you attach the cleat to the mast? I glassed on the gooseneck so the mast section can nest in one another. I'd love to know how you solved these problems. Thanks.

Alex Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hi There, Have you already got your mast and sail? If not, buy a second hand Laser mast and a new sail from isails for $185 and it is a piece of cake. I have a spindrift 12 cat rig and it goes great. The downhaul is attached to the base of the mast up through the eyelet in the bottom of the sail and then pulled down to the cam cleat which is riveted to the mast. Anyone out there that is building a Spindrift of any size should look at this option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjshp Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yes, the mast is complete and I have the sail from B&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianM83 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Alex, which sail did you purchase from i-sails? They seem to have a few options. How is yours working out for you? I am getting close to finishing my Spindrift 10N and need to pick one up soon. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi Brian, I bought the standard size sail which is 76sq ft for my son's Spindrift 12 and it sails like a dream. I picked up a second hand Laser mast and boom for $200. I will be sailing this weekend hopefully and I will take some photos and post them for you to have a look at. The quality of the sail is great, and you can't beat the price that's for sure. For the Spindrift 10 you may want to order the radial sail which is 62sq ft and only $185 here in Australia. Alex.

Alex Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hi Brian, I went sailing today and took a heap of photos for you to have a look at the sail. Please find them under the new topic, Spindrift 12 photos. Regards, Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
