Improvements Improvements of the gaff rig (for single-handed sailing in fair weather) Mainsail: a better cut mainsail is set with two ganged winches with differing sizes (diameters) - fixed to the mast above the spider band (fiferail) - in order to set peak and throat halyard simultaniously. - gaff and mainsail are caught by lazy jacks on each topping lift, which are rigged with one halyard. - mainsheet winch (preferable classic) with two gears near tiller, but keeping tackle rigged. Jib: furling and reefing of jib rigged to jib traveller, size adjustments from as far aft as possible. Topsail: custom top sail is bent to top spar by hoops permanently. It is furled (dowsed) by a special folding mechanism on a tripping line on the mast with folding wooden plates, similar arrangement as on some American schooners. See picture: no changes are necassary in the forestaysail. Present condition of rig: Ropes: partly new, partly OK, partly reneable. Sails: mainsail, topsail, staysail and jib are from Dacron. The mainsail needs renewal, the topsail is cut wrongly. !!!A flying jib is an option!!! A possible later addition: mechanism of wooden latch for tiller - a simple mechanical foldaway in lining.
Sailing conditions very good manoeuvring qualities, low freeboard, though quite wet, sailing conditions: fast racing sailer, possible speed: 8-10 knots, engine: very reliable, 7 knots, 1,5 - 2,5 l/h diesel.
