The tube needs to be just a bit longer than the spars, so around 14 feet. The slot needs to correspond with where the gooseneck is. So if your gooseneck is at 20 inches, the slot would need to be an inch or two longer than that.Inherited a couple of 6" PVC Schedule 40 tubes originally used for Laser sails. Will need to lengthen and put in slot for gooseneck. What overall length is good and how big and how long should be slot? Pictures would be appreciated. Thanks, Eric
Thanks. So about 22" long and 1/2" wide would be good. 14' long?The tube needs to be just a bit longer than the spars, so around 14 feet. The slot needs to correspond with where the gooseneck is. So if your gooseneck is at 20 inches, the slot would need to be an inch or two longer than that.
That sounds about right - I think the slot needs to be a bit wider than 1/2 inch but you can always make it wider if 1/2 inch isn't enough.Thanks. So about 22" long and 1/2" wide would be good. 14' long?
"Schedule 40 PVC" is unnecessarily expensive and heavy for this purpose--IMHO. (I've got stored a 20' length of heavy Schedule 40 PVC--rescued from a dumpster). ; ). I'd look for the lighter schedule 20--or 10 (if it's made in that very lightweight form).Inherited a couple of 6" PVC Schedule 40 tubes originally used for Laser sails.
