Hi Ian!
The launch date is getting closer for my 'Panta Rei', although hundreds of details still to be done, and the daggerboard. Picture of the painted main hull and the not painted mast with main being tested attached.
Self tacking jib: I have made a track that squeezes between the daggerboard and mast as you describe with the F32SR. I use a Gran Glider jib with one long vertical batten and a "fat head". It fitted perfect and no sail area is waisted, in fact it is ovelapping the mast a bit because of the batten/head construction. Can't wait to try in practise!
Regards,
Tor
Tor made his own carbon fiber wing mast and it is good to see the mainsail extending
right to the very top as it should!
