Marconi sail plan

This is a 1941, Comet kit. I used the old kit’s wood as patterns while making parts from birch ply, basswood and mahogany.
The scroll saw was a big help in cutting the printed parts from the old wood. Wish I had one when cutting printed parts for rubber powered airplanes.

What is the make of the kit the Gipsy sailing boat is from, looks interesting.

Fair winds and calm waters,

Marconi sail plan

I was in contact with Nat, at: www.GannonAndBenjami.com
where he said I should stay with a Marconi sail for the Gypsy sailboat.
I must make a small Jib and Main sail. I bought some polyester material that is water resistant at a local fabric store. Not much required, but I know that one can not just cut from a 2D plan the cloth and attach it to the mast and boom.
I have been studying how to make a Dacron sail.
