AD16 Question (Jacques)

Post by Jeff »

This question arrived over the weekend via email: "Hi Hello! Some time ago I built an adelie 16, but I'm not satisfied with its performance with the project mast, I wonder if it would be possible to do a sloop rig and if you could provide the specifications and designs for that! Thankful!" Jeff

The AD16 plans show two types of rig. Which one did you build?

BTW, the other builders are happy with the performance. She is not a racing boat but handles well. Please tell us more in detail what you would like to improve and also, where did you get your sails?
Sail shape is important. Pictures would be great too. I may be able to see a problem if you post a picture of the boat under sail.
