Default RE: how to make masts and sails etc

thanks mate well i guess ill maybe make them out of one peice of rip stop 1st and see how they work and maybe ill make some panel sails for her later.yes i know what a triumph is 1stly they make some of the best bikes ever built and second they used to make nice cars when i was a kid.what year is the tr6? i remember the tr7 from the 80s i think it was lol.im back to the sails im not sure if you know which boat im building but its the luna rossa and ive been told shes only good in light winds but where i live is near the coast so it can blow a bit from time to time.the lake is a bit sheltered by a high bank between it and the sea though.is there anything i can do to this boat to make her better in heavier wind? maybe lengthen the keel? or even widen it a bit too?.im building it 33 inches long rather than the size in the plans mainly for easier transportation in the car.any advice on what i can do would be great as id rather modify this boat than get more plans printed and build something else.cheers!!
