Don Silsbe Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 How's this working out? Looks good to me. What I love about these small boats is that you can play around with different arrangements, and not break the bank in the process. I have tried out several sheeting configurations on my boat. I'm on iteration number three for the mainsheet, and number two for the mizzen. I think that the main is "close". The mizzen might meed a tweak or two. Then, there's the mizzen in the center position. What fun! Do the same with your sail lacing. Try different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul356 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I tried that spiral lacing on previous boat. I could never get it to work right, mainly due to the friction between the mast varnish and the line, I think. I ended up making "hoops" out of line, and those worked better. This was in the days before spectra and soft shackles. I think I used nylon line, but it might have been dacron. In anyway, I second the motion for hoops/soft shackles.
