<p>Hi Brad, I really need to go back an edit my blog! I completely forgot to put the dimensions in.</p>
<p>In meters my sail is: Luff: 6.2m, Leach 5.8m, Foot 4.6m Total area - 21.5 sq m. The design is an A3 runner</p>
<p>For comparison, Littlecat is using Luff 21' 9" (6.7m), Leach 20' 2"(6.5m) and Foot 13' 6" (4.1m). I'm not sure what shape it is i.e. running or reaching.</p>
<p>Cheers Ian</p>

<p>What did the dimensions end up being for your spinnaker (luff, foot, leech)? I have an asym that I got for free, and I'm wondering how it measures up! </p>

<p>I'll post on the A-sail, success or failure. Good luck with the Mana and keep us posted. Enjoy.</p>

<p>Hi, Ian. Thanks for the comments. I have indeed been blessed with a good life.</p>
<p>I do understand what you say about "trepidation" and the "gap between success and failure". It is easy to get excited by the idea of a finished product and neglect to take into account the work which was required to get to the end result. I am feeling that way about the project on which I am about to embark. I expect your sail will work wonderfully - I love the colours.</p>

<p>I will do my best to update with the Mana build. JWD will be sending me an invoice this week to get things rolling. I will likely do update posts on my blog as well as on my Facebook page, although once I get into building mode, I tend to forget to take photos and videos, etc. </p>

<p>Thanks Rod, I await the test flight with some trepidation. The gap between success and failure is magnified by the work put in. I'll let you know.</p>
<p>Checked out your website and look forward to reading more. I love the paintings, great life. Do tell about the Mana as it happends.</p>

<p>Asymetricals are great, has a lot of power and easy to control.</p>
<p>I have a narrow cut normal spinaker on my 42ft Pahi and use it a lot. I can fly it simalar to a A-spi but not fully.</p>
<p>I use a baberhauler on beam 3 to control and a block on beam 4. Works fine for me.</p>
<p>I would love to get my hands on an A-spi but the dreaded funds wont allow it at the moment.</p>
<p>Most rig-setup is accomplished is through trial and error.</p>

<p>Rogerio Martin has jib tracks fastened straight to the cabin sides on his Tiki 30. He'd probably have some good practical advice on it in a PM. </p>
