    We came to realise that the partners as originally designed would mean that bolts for the base plate of the galvanized steel collar would have to go through the cross beams that had framed the fore hatch.
    To avoid this and to further improve the load spread the infill area at the partners and the base plate as well as the plate for underneath the partners to which it will be through bolted were enlarged.
    You can see the work done and the drawings of the collar and plates here.

    Hi Kris,

    If you take a look at the diagram below you will see the 'half lenses' that are along the top and bottom of the main parallelogram or body of each of the lower five sail panels.
    (It is these that give each panel its barrel cut aerofoil shape.)
    Because the Weathermax80 material I chose came in a roll width of 1520mm I could not fit in the full panel.
    So the solution I chose was to cut those two 'half lenses' separately and rejoin them to the parallelograms with a simple flat overlay 'seam' and three rows of stitches.

    In the case of the 3 upper panels we had a similar dilemma because of the leech length but solved it in a different way.

    In those panels we cut the paper patterns in half from the centre of the luff end to the centre of the leech end and then laid them side by side but with one flipped horizontally on the material as in Jasmine08s red panel #7 (counting up from the bottom) shown in the picture below.
    This allowed us to cut the two halves of the upper 3 panels out of one 1520mm wide section of material.
    We then rejoined them with the same simple overlay 'seam' and three rows of stitches we used when attaching the 'half lenses' to panels 1-5.
    (I believe this was also done on Peregrine's 80m² Victor Winterthun designed sail.)

    Hans-Eric,

    good pictures showing the process of cutting the sail parts. One thing that looks strange to me - the shape of "half lenses" - they are quite triangular. I thought they suppose to be much aerofoiled,  alike NACA shaped, bow-like, at least trapeze. What idea is behind the the slightly rounded triangle lens shape?

    Hans-Erik,

    This link is only openable by you. You need to go to 'my directory profile' after you've added the photos, find the album in there, and then you will see 'https://junkrigassociation.org/Sys/PublicProfile/' as the first part of the URL. That's the link you need to use in your posting, so that we can all open it.

    In this case, it's
