  1. I’m actually just having a beast of a time finding anything even close in New Zealand that isn’t 6060. my sailmaker confirmed it’s not gonna be easy. I could import it from China but that not far off the cost of getting carbon fiber here. Is there any guidance on width and wall thickness of carbon fiber to get the bend / strength right?
  2. Thanks Paul! Yeah, I suspected a missing 0 on the metric plans, but wanted to be sure... I try to suspect an error on my part first before one on the part of the plans. I may give them a call or an email, but this helps a lot.
  3. Hello! I've been working on a Spindrift 11 for a year or so! It's going great, I'm about to glue the seats in. and I'm about to source the parts for the aluminium mast, and, after having a few suppliers look at me like I'm a little crazy, I'm beginning to wonder if I've understood the plans right. They call for 3 tubes: 6'L 2.5" D 0.065" Wall 6061-T6 tube 8'L 2.0" D 0.65" wall 6061-T6 tube 6'L 1.5" D 0.65" wall 6061-T6 tube The wall thickness tho seems wayyyyyyy too thick? that 2" tube would have an internal diameter of 0.7", which would mean the 1.5" tube couldn't fit inside it... unless I'm way off. I also don't understand why the bottom tube would be thinner than the top ones. Has anyone else solved this step? I'll attach some build photos as well, because I love seeing other people's builds
