square sail

what's the best shape for a single square sail let the debate begin A or B as this will be fitted on the Norfolk Keel or both and let the wind decide under test conditions

    On large sailing ships, the square sails were often a bit wider at the bottom,but in this case, I would be guided by the pictures you have of both the Norfolk and Humber keels.

    It's some time since you gave us an update on your Norfolk Keel. How's it going or is the DUKW quacking too much?

    Cheers, Nerys

hull of Norfolk Keel

this has gone onto the back boiler as family comes first as son in law had a small stroke and only 45 and the dukw only gets worked on in the evenings

    So pleased to hear that he is getting a bit better, Jacko, I've had a little experience of this and I know how hard it can be for everyone concerned. Best wishes to everyone.

    Hi Jacko.
    Does this mean that the DUKW is finished ? Pleased to hear that the Keel is back in your thoughts.
