Mizzen Loads on Yawl

[Andy Schell]

Thanks for the input (sorry for the faux pas Brion). I've done the re-rig with Dynex Dux, so weight with the added intermediates is not an issue. I managed to get them far enough forward to give me about 7 degrees, and the boom clears them, though I need to re-route the mainsheet, which I was going to do anyway. The mizzen now has uppers led slightly aft, lowers led further aft, and the intermediates led forward, and I hope should work just fine. The sail is only 75 sq feet, so the loads are fairly small. It also has running backs for when I set a staysail on it. The Dux is excellent, easy to splice and very light. Plus, the deadeyes on the old yawl look very cool. Thanks for the input.
