Robert took Eliane's boat over to Eric's place to try the rig. As you can see from the pictures, it looks great for it's functional requirements and the ultra low cost target. The aesthetics of the sail are great for the ultra low cost target, but may not be a perfect fit with the yacht club crowd.
The Bamboo spars look like they are going to do the job, After a winter here they are still as strong as needed. All the spars and battens fit within the hull - making storage and travel pretty easy.Eric discussed the sail with me the other day - saying we might not need to bother with the broadseam panels and shaping. Looking at the photos, I think the shape looks pretty good.
