Good evening everyone is there a rule of thumb that the martingale/ Dolphin striker is a set size depending on the Bowsprit total length my plans for the Panart mantua make it look to small, so this is about 20% londger

good evening everyone its getting to the stage now where everything i do is being remade (hopefully better Foremast on the lower part of the mast there is a coller and 4 holes need to be drilled into it, and pintles inserted through which a wire hoop is fitted, this has hooks hanging from it an supports the cope coils from the pin rails (Just below the awning) this is the kit way i can do better i said the searchlight platform fitted the radar according to the kit is hung below main top in fact it is not and forms part of the planform also other things are changing as i go along like extra holes on the top for lines to pass through tonight she looks like this why are parts of the mast painted white?
