Re: Centennial 11 did sail very well.
> I've a couple questions, if you don't mind.Nearly forgot to ask what you thought about rigging a mizzen staysail for long tacks in light airs. The mainsheet lead aft to the high placed mizzen mast cleat would need altering. Would the extra power in light air be worth the small trouble?

Would you mind describing your cabin shape in some detail? For example, did you cold mold some curvy shape perhaps, or go with a low wedge? The very few photos about seem to show that builders have altered the cabin in different ways. You wouldn't have any photos of your boat would you?
What profile did you shape the foils to - the one's on the plan, or perhaps some NACA series. Did you make them thicker?
Did you find out how far over she went before losing positive righting moment? If not could you hazard a guess please? Did you figure an easy way to ship the foils afloat?

Hi Group. Once again to the defense. Good sails, good foils and sailing experience made Centennial 11 an excellent, yes excellent sailer.
All the statements attributed to the Florida member in the recent post are true. That was me. Sadly the SBJ article got wide attention. Sadly, I offered to write an article but was too late. They had already purchased the one which later ran.
I sent Mr Bolger a picture of mine which had a more streamlined and attractive cabin. He sent me a very kind thank you letter.
Just the other day I discussed with a friend how much I liked the mizzen set up and how I planned to use it in my new boat.
Those good sails I had were North Star Boat sails bought for $100. The main and mizzen both were cut easily from the huge Star main, still showed the Star insignia and were shown around that time in the Star Class newsletter.
