A better model of the rigging. The rig now have vertical battens despite a lot of hesitation.

After much hesitaion and apprehension I now go for vertiacal battens, two in each sail.
This allows me to reduce the height of the mast to 2.2 meter freestanding.
The sail area is 3.24 square meter.
Small things attract small forces. The battens therfore will not need to be very strong.
There will be a small vertical spare in the aft end of the boat to take the sheet of tha aft mast.
The J-spar is is attached to a point on a gallows just in front of the masts as a kind of gooseneck..
Normally the gooseneck is on the mast just below the luff. That is better but here that way is not possible as the masts rotates. The result will not be to different I hope.

Sven Yrvind
Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
