Detailing the rig analysis

Email to Mike Toppa (North Sails) from Nelson/Marek concerning sail configurations and analysis for each of the proposed masts

Mike,

Good to talk on Friday about all of the recent information RE the Dorade rig configuration.

You are correct that we would like you to model sails for each of the following Rig configurations under consideration.

Option A 1936 As Is

Option B 1936 Mark II (Have been calling 2011 Mast)

Option C 1931 Mark II (Stormy Weather Type)

Option D 1931 Original

Per your request I have attached the Option A & B ACAD drawing I prepared again.

In addition to modelling the Sails please prepare your comments about any variations that would improve the sail sheeting or sail effectiveness.

Please remember that Matt is willing to replace the Sail Inventory and wants to receive your thoughts for the best Offshore and Inshore Sail Inventories without regard for the present sails.

To assist you with this task I have attached a few Sail Inventory Comments.

Regards,

Greg

“I was lucky: I had a goal. As far back as I can “I was lucky: I had a goal. As far back as I can remember I wanted to design fast boats,” writes Olin Stephens in the opening words of his autobiography, All This and Sailing Too, which we heartily recommend. Today you can read another take on Olin and his brother Rod in our latest blog post, at the link in our bio—a look back at the two-part feature story on the Stephen Brothers written by Morton M. Hunt for The New Yorker's September 1957 issue. In this excerpt, we pick up the story with the publication of Olin’s first design in Yachting magazine and the beginning of the partnership that became the pre-eminent yacht design firm of the mid-20th century, Sparkman & Stephens. A yacht named Dorade was soon to follow…
