Not worried about that. A loose footed main is readily adaptable.

Main concern is adding a jib to an unstayed rig can overload the mast. So keep an eye out for any weird bend and drop the jib if you see it.

We know the boat sails well without the jib as the wind comes up so it all will still work very nicely.

Just a quick reply.

If I get a request for pricing I can process it and see how it works out. If there is mast bend data that would be VERY useful for final design. But I can quote on the basic cost without that extra information.

Hi Mark,

The tanbark sail adds roughly 8% to the standard price. Plus there might be some shipping costs to OZ too as we can get sails to the USA and Europe consolidated into other shipments.

How much extra would a tanbark coloured sail be for the Ocean Explorer? Also did you get my last postings to re: using a carbon fibre mast for the explorer instead of building the wooden mast. I’m looking at possibly using a windsurfer blank if I can find one to fit. regards Mark
