Re: DIY Sail design and setup
looks like a nice simple setup. Simplicity is important ..esp when it gets a bit blowy and you have to rely on the equipment to stayput and not fail.
verb. Fishing - doing nothing with a purpose

People laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at them because they're all the same.

Re: DIY Sail design and setup
The only problem i can see with the setup, is with the side stays. I would have them below the boom so if the need arises you can fully depower the sail.
Apart from that its a good setup.
