jetech Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Do the plans show details for both the standard rig and the sloop rig? Is the mast shorter in length for the sloop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I built the sloop version several years ago. If memory serves me, the cat version came with some addtional sheets for the sloop version that are not included with just the cat version, or? Maybe sending me both sets was just an oversight? I believe the mast is taller in the sloop version. I will go dig out the plan set and take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 It took me all day to find where I had put the Spindrift plan set, and it turned out to be within 3 feet of where I started looking. On the bright side, most of my storage room is now straightened out. The sloop mast is 17" 11" from the top to the step. The steps (2 positions) are on top of the fore deck. The cat mast is 19' 2", because it is inserted into the mast collar and to the keel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 What I would like to know is if there is a difference in the main sail on the sloop and the sail on the cat version. The sloop has a jib and standing rigging too. I plan to alter my sloop version to a cat version, redoing the mast to more closely match the cat version and getting rid of the standing rigging all together. If I had it to do over, I would not have built the sloop version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
