Thread: Increase Spar Lengths and Sail Size?

For the tiny increase in length, you'd notice no difference with the standard rig, unless you were racing and timing things to the nearest tenth of a second. I'd just build it with the standard rig. My 2c.

ETA: Compared to a standard hull, with the same rig, yours would be theoretically slightly slower in very light winds, and slighter faster in stronger winds, with a little bit more stability. You'd hardly notice most of the time, though..

Agreed the additional length isn't a significant amount, so the stock rig would be logical. Though a 5% length increase is made, the sail carrying power isn't affected much, because the beam and draft remain the same. You'll gain a slight longitudinal stability increase, but very little additional sail carrying power, so . . .
