Comments on: Mast http://www.sylinnea.com/2008/06/mast/ A blog about sailing a 36 ft sailing boat with junk rig Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:16:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: admin http://www.sylinnea.com/2008/06/mast/comment-page-1/#comment-965 admin Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:08:11 +0000 http://www.sylinnea.com/2008/06/08/mast/#comment-965 Hi David. Sorry, missed this comment until now. I do recommend the book "The Practical Junk rig". It is not only to add a sail to a hull. The rig must be integrated to the hull, otherwise you might have problems sheeting or get an unbalanced boat. It is not hard to do, if you have the book. Feel free to ask questions, though. I do recommend that you use one mast. /m Hi David. Sorry, missed this comment until now. I do recommend the book “The Practical Junk rig”. It is not only to add a sail to a hull.

I have considerable bluewater experience in a conventional sloop but I am getting older and lazier and really considering a junk rig. I am considering copying the rig from your boat. Can you give me the dimensions of your mast? Height? Diameter at base and top? And anything further you think I should know. I am comparing buying a log here in British Columbia or the Birdsmouth system of laminating a hollow round mast. Tks for any info.

We had some leaking last year. But it stopped when we taped the mast boot, so it might not have been about the cracks. This year I will give it a tighter lashing in the first place. /m Don’t know really. We had some leaking last year.

Well, most people just can't take their eyes off the large cracks, so never notice the kink. /m haha. Well, most people just can’t take their eyes off the large cracks, so never notice the kink.

I never could see it in the other pictures. Just don't let anyone look at your mast from that angle and you will be all right;) I can finally see that little kink in your mast in that view from the top.
