Sorry guys.....tried to put pic here
Having a "Ipad/this site" issue
At times it works.....other times just won't :(
Very cool! Looks good.
That is one of our members here. Trying to remember his handle. He built the gaff rig himself.
TG. It's Romeii!
That's pretty cool. Keith Scott has made a 23 like that also. His purpose was to have a shorter mast, but larger sail with the gaff being something you could lower to get under a bridge. He also put the mastender on several of the sloop Com-pacs, and at least one Slipper 17 (my old one).
I've thought about the mastender for my 23, but so far, I have only pulled her to the yard when there was a hurricane coming. I may just keep it like it is, and get help when I need to lower the mast.
I got to enjoy the gaff rig on my Suncat, and would have no qualms about having another gaffer, although you have twice the hardware.
