I usually sails in a small reservoir near by. The typical wind condition is very light
less than 10 mile/hour, around 5 mile/hour most of time. I am thinking of speed up
boat with more sail area, by streching spar length in order to fit a bigger sail.
The current length of spar is about 14 ft. By increasing mere 3 feet each spar, I can add about half (44%) of sail area from class sail. I know the modified boat is gonna to be tippy. But with stable sunfish hull, and my heavy body weight ~200lbs. It might not that too bad compare to laser, or even mention a skiff, such as 29er.
Has anybody tried that before? Any suggestion?
