jmhardy Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Can someone explain why a sailplan similar to the ones on the Core Sound boats isn't used on the Spindrift? I just picked up plans and a CD from Graham Tuesday evening and look forward to building and learning to sail.

Tom Lathrop Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Spindrift is a small boat and there is no room for a cat ketch rig. There is room alright, but not for a rig that is more than a cute novelty. The masts get in the way on all boats and more so on a small one. The sails would be kind of dainty too.

Wouldn't that be "dinky?" (pun intended!) :lol: That would be an interesting sight to see a Spindrift with a cat ketch rig. I cannot imagine trying to move around in that rig.

Peter HK Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Compared to this a cat ketch spindrift wouldn't be a challenge :grin: Cheers Peter HK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Day Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Now sailing that boat would be interesting! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
