Jacques,

As it happens, I am designing a deck ring assembly for another JRA member, to suit a 7 inch tube which is very close in diameter to your 18cm mast. The components are to be 3D printed in suitable plastics for outdoor use. He is planning to join a 200mm tapered tube to this 7 inch tube as indicated in the drawings, but it would be just as good to make a hybrid mast using the 7 inch tube, or just to use an 18cm tapered tube as you are doing.  Would you be interested in joining the project? 

Hello David, 

I am interested in joining these project ( File N° 1).

I printed "30mm+aft+end+plug.stl " - file enclosed- What are the 2 drillings for?

Good day

Jacques 

Are you just interested in batten ends for the moment? Can you make your own designs to print? If not, just let me know the size of your batten tubes, and then I can do it.

There is a rounded end to the hole going forward, so that when the sheet span is put through the other hole and tied with a figure 8 stopper knot, it never leads around a sharp edge, whatever point of sail you are on.

Bonsoir Jacques,

if you don't paint the aluminium mast and battens, it will stain the sail. That's all. It is a decision of aestetics, not function. I did not paint my Ilvy's sail, and it works fine. Maybe with a new sail in the future I would paint it, but it is not a must.

Cheers

Paul

Hello,

December 15th: Here we go!

Drilling the deck (20mm drill bit) ( photo enclosed ) 

Questions : 

• The mast is 18 cm in diameter, how many centimeters should I add for wedging?
• Painting the Aluminum mast: Yes or No ?
• If Yes :  What paint should I use after a primer ?  epoxy, oil-based, acrylic, or alkyd-based?  , Spray ?

Nice evening

Jacques

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....

Arne,

Hoping you will be better soon

Jacques
