Gathered some measurements of the sail rig from our Alcort Standard Sailfish WINNIE. But first we compared the 65 square foot sail to a Super Sailfish 75 sf sail.
Gaff and boom are 12' 8". Spruce.
Wilcox and Crittenden bronze boom blocks are set at 6' and 10', fastened with integral screws.
Interconnecting hardware.
Boom and gaff are just over 1 1/2" diameter.
Tapered down to 15/16th inch starting 3 inches from the end, with 3/16th inch bee hole 1 inch from the end.
Mast 9' 7". Spruce and T6061 Aluminum. Sheave set at 9' 3 1/2".
Lower 4 feet is aluminum.
Diameter 2 1/4 inches. Taper to top starts at 6', from 2 1/4 inches down to 1 3/4 inches at top.
1 3/4 inches at top, with 1 3/4 inch sheave.
Maybe the coolest sail ever.
