Thanks Tom. I think I see the pockets for the full length battens. Otherwise it seems to look the same as my later Haarstick jib with short battens.

Rich,

Thanks for reminding me about Thurston. I had a companionway dodger made by his brother last year.

I learned that using the gunmount spinnaker was pretty scarey with any kind of rolling sea as the spinnaker pole nearly goes into the water often. I only tried that once. After about a week of my crew and I hand steering the ...

Not sure what you mean by a short stand. My F32 (Hoyt) has a telescoping table stand that lets you lower it all the way down to the level of the settee so that you can use the table as part of a bunk.
