Yes, this sail is for the TRIX. I really had no intention of elimitating my boom. I was just suggesting, wouldn't it be nice to not have that massive hunk of metal swing back and forth just over your head.
I had intended to replace the sail but the Sailmaker was able to make repairs and upgrades. So that'll do for now. I had them remove the shelf and bring the foot up to where it should be. You can see the boom below with the shelf exposed. There is another clew eyelet 10" above the one shown for a second outhaul in the boom for flattening the foot.
I would like to sail her around the South Pacific and Oz. But we'll see after I get her in shape. She is a 1979 and in need of some minor restoration. The last DPO installed a new mast and wires then let her sit for three years before donating her to charity. Then they put a new head and heat exchanger on the motor so it would sell. Then it still sat for another 6 months. I put in a bid on her and got it. Structurely she's in good shape, just needs a lot of upgrades.
I seen a new Swan 40 out of the water last week and the hull was identical which is what caught my eye. It gave me a lot of ideas for upgrades to the deck arrangement.
This vessel came with 7 sails but only two of them are usable right now. She use to have a Hood roller furling but it went with the old mast, which I have no idea what the story is on that. The previous owner will not reply.
I would like a Catamaran but it may not be in the budget.
