Would you be interested in joining the project?
Jacques,

Hello David,
I am interesting 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
If ou do paint, and it gets any bubbles, theses need to be removed promptly, otherwise you get corrosion underneath.
i understand that you should use a specific primer for aluminium
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 Jacques, good to see your progress !
For the mast wedges, PJR says 0.1D, for your mast it's approximatively 2cm.
I don't know for the aluminium, I think it's a lot simpler to let the pole bare. Painting it would be nicer, but a lot of work.
Hello,
December 15th: Here we go!
Drilling the deck (20mm drill bit) ( photo enclosed )
Questions :
Nice evening
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
