I have a formula I'vebeen following to do B'mouth. I will post it at some point and maybe discuss...there is a great article on B'mouth technique in Duckworks that Jorn refers to above and when the time comes will look at this again. For the boom I like the idea of a tapered, squarish section...solid. I will be doing a mizzen for a yawl version and intend to use windsurfer spars, so I might use one of them for the lug's yard. It'll need to be affordable though, and as our economy crashes here I am more and more glad that I have chosen an affordable option for the next boat.
