Reply to: Shortening a mainsail

[quote=rch701][quote]Why not just add the "Ter-nay-der" mast and sail to the Prindle 18?[/quote] This is going on a Farrier Tramp Trimaran. [url]https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/trampeagle/[/url] Every rigger I talk to says the loading is much higher even with the same sail area. The Tornado mast is 2ft bigger, but way more flimsy. My current fixed pole is 29ft (sole stepped) weighing in at 68lbs with massive 3/16" shrouds. I plan to add a king post to make the mast deck stepped and running standard 5/32" rigging. Just have to keep in mind "reef early". If I crush the Prindle mast I will default back to stock and have a good story...assuming no one gets hurt.[/quote]
