tfrei Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I've looked for but cannot find the expected weight for the sprits on the core sound 17. When I did the conversion to the new sail plan, I had to make a new spar for the main sprit. I made it out of fir and now am wondering whether it is too heavy. It seems heavy anyway. Anybody ever weighed theirs? Mine weighs 5 lbs 12 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Interesting question, I never even thought about it. My Lapwing main sprit weighs 4.3# with blocks and chafe gear. It is probably a tad shorter than a CS17. I interpret this to mean mine is still a bit lighter when corrected for length. Mine is DF.
