Halyard Lock

I was having troubles with the new(to me) stiff boltrope. Wile I could get the sail up with out the halyard I could not release the hook when I wanted to.
I removed about 3cm if boltrope and now it works fine. Do need to make a new hook out of lighter stock.

Sail shape 2

The second set clew at 50% and down haul at 10%.

Some shots of the new sail. 



The first two are with the clew at 90% and the down haul at 50%.
