Hello,

Step N° 1 : Next week , I recovered the alu street lamp ( photo 1 ). Is it necessary to paint  ? if so with what paint ? 

Step N°2 : Mast sole Ok ( photo 2 ) just test no glue, no "Omega" reinforcement 

Step N° 3 : fabric fund  : Dralon/teflon 240gr/m2 - in 320cm ( Destocking, good price)

Next step : Mast step 

Have à good day

Jacques,

did you just scale the measures to fit Arne's design for your Sangria? Looks okay on a first glimpse.

Yes

Good!

That was exactly the idea with making those master sailplans....

Jacques, not a silly question! But the answer is a very clear No. A bermudan mast is not designed to and not able to take the bending loads of an unstayed mast.

Arne & Paul

Enclosed sheet 3 . What do you think about cambered panels ?

Nice evening

Bonjour Jacques,

it is of course your decision, and I don't want to push. Your preferred version 1 from Arne will work fine, also. Usually 80% is good enough, if the last percentage points would require a relatively large amount of extra work - in your case, a different mast than at hand. 

I definitely agree with Arne: Please, at least, build cambered panels ;-)

Cordialement,

Paul

 

Yes , with cambered panels .

Silly question (perhaps-probably !!): is it possible to use my Bermuda mast by transforming it into a self-supporting mast?
