[bolger] June Bug mast
Hello All,
I'm going to be building a mast for my Junebug. I assumed that they
used the same mast, but that isn't the case. June Bug's mast has
maximum dimemsions of 1.75 x 1.75 inches while Gypsy's are 2.5 x 2.5
inches. Does anyone know why Gypsy's mast needs to be stronger given
that both boats use exactly the same sail? My only guess is that Gypsy
is more stable than June Bug and therefore loads the mast more.
Thanks,
Mike
