I'll look up that info you suggested. I believe I remember seeing it, but it has been quite some time ago.

Just ran across this other idea I had been considering for furling the sails on a Dynarig without having to furl them into a slot in the mast:
Simplfying Falcon's Dynarig

...and another couple of ideas discussed on these page(s)
camberspar, etc

I knew I had seen that PDF before, in fact I posted a message about it here on this page of discussions:

But I am still going back and reviewing it as it has been quite some time ago.

Meantime I also found a youtube clip of a model proa with a Dynarig type sail on it.

How about scaling up this 'fenced yard' idea for a simplified Dynarig that would allow for hoisting and lowering the sail area (and yards) for various wind strengths?

Looks like HISWA removed papers from 2005 and before from their site.

Send me your Email Adress via PM. I will send it to you.

Video by Burgess with MF 'on the hard' as they say getting lots of work done.

A number of these links are saying videos no longer available? Is there anyway to recover them?

So sad that many of these links don't work ! I guess that is the internet rather than good old books and libraries !!

Hi Brian,

We have no control over videos taken offline. In some cases, people cancel accounts and forget the video is not only being seen on Google, but it is displayed on other websites that publish the video too. BTW, all the 'views' you see on a YouTube video aren't just from being seen on YouTube, they are tabulated to include all the 'views' from other sites that also display the video. It's a win-win for YouTube, but for creators of content such as forums, we derive no benefit other than saving storage and bandwidth.

Hope all is well, old friend!

Looking back at the tacking questions
https://www.boatdesign.net/threads/tacking-a-square-rigged-vessel.68526/

oops, looks like I was going to post this and forgot to do it?

PS: I'll probably post my solutions to tacking that dyna-rigged cat in both forums.

"The review I read about the Maltese Falcon said they turned on the engines and powered through the tacks." Gonzo

I can well imagine that since she already has those big props and shafts she is dragging around. But I don't imagine it would be kosher in something like the St Barts race/regatta.

I want to see if I can get that dyna-rigged cat to perform an actual tack thru the wind.
