It's in the above .... looks like I have added it all up OK then ...

So if the rule was simplified to a sailing weight then I guess 87kgs would be the figure.

Would that not be simper?

Rick,

Don't forget that a jib boom isn't the same as a jib pole!

 I am sure that a jib boom is heavier that a pole - Meds over to you on that one!

Ahhhh Rick!

You've never 'eard of the measurers? They come out in their clinker boats with Seagull outboards and grappling 'ooks an' first thing you know an' they're over yo' gunwhales an' you're boarded like. Then they start to work, gleamin' in the eye....

If you're not playing ball, then it's glug glug glug........

Remember lad "Nobody expects the measurers...."

Ask John Murrell where he keeps 'is Seagull like...

Ah ha, me thinks that spot measuring during Salcombe Week sounds like fun, 3470 being the first victim? And James my dear fellow, don't forget what comes oout de bak of seagulls.................

Rick,

A jib stick attaches to the clew of the jib, used off the wind and as most Twelves run them up the mast ( a dangly pole!) actually replace Barber haulers and give enhanced jib twist control.

A Jib Boom whilst effectively doing the same thing is fitted to and rotates around the stem fitting. How do they work? Not sure, Kev Driver spent hours explaining it to me when he was building Big Issue and Malcolm also tried to explain it again on the beach during Salcombe Week - I never did get it! Though I believe that Gavin is having a go with his F'in Boat!
