how to fill the mast with foam

Thanks!

Thanks for all the great info, I am tempted to try this out, but for this summer I will just try out going solo on my little sloop, and possibly avoid to many strong winds.
 
Centerboard Construction

I was reading SCA and In the Jan/Feb 2009 Small Craft Advisor on page 16 There is an article by Jerry Montgomery That show and discusses how to fair centerboards into an air foil shape.

You might be able to get a copy from their website.

If you feel insecure in your first outing try using the mainsail alone. If you get weather helm move forward on the seat to reduce it or rake mast forward a tiny bit.

If you become a solo sailor try bringing all the halyards into cockpit and near mainsheet block. Slugs on mainsail make it easy to raise and lower sail. You just release main halyard and sail falls down. A string attached to top of jib head lead down to a block on tack and back to cockpit makes it easy to douse (lower) the jib by yourselff. Just pull on the string and it pulls the head down. Some people tie the string to the first slug below the jib head.
