We built this little beauty in the woodshop. Teh Ducktrap press design has a sprit sail, there was not a snow balls chance in hell I would put a small Sprit sail on a boat.
I sent to Hunter and Gambell of Maine and they offered a small lug for 800 and a large lug for 880, I got the large, we had to move the centerboard 150 mm towards the stern
She is 4.87 m (16 fôt in old English)
The lawyers went into meltdown land when I suggested we sail her on Town Lake in Austin. A very small Tarn if I ever saw one.
