Re: What would you do for a mast?

Some fellow sailor calls out for help
Scores arrive with good advice
Others prefer only to yelp
While finding out nothing will do but a brand new device

Re: What would you do for a mast?

That's it!

As far as my knowledge goes, extruded alu profiles can only be a certain length. This means all very tall spars are sleeved and riveted from the builder. It sure as h@@l won't ever...

Re: Scandinavian flags (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) - any complications?

Of course they can. They can't fly a Swedish flag though. Unless the law has changed since 2009 ( I've been cruising full time elsewhere since then) ANY vessel has to be own by at least 50% by...

Ok, that's useful info. Though we've met with several Swiss flagged vessels over the years, I know nothing about costs and regulations there. I do know that France is to be avoided for those reasons....

What with Sweden?

Quite similar as for Denmark or Finland for that matter.

The pivotal question is what flag you'll register the boat under?

As for Sweden, any vessel has to be owned at...

Re: corsair 24 vs newick outrigger 26

+one

All Newick boats were sculptures. The F and Cs are fast and fun and foldable(already three important Fs there) bit not very pleasing to my eye at least.
