Praia, don't always take what JJ says as serisouly as it's said. If you go through the forum , you'll notice JJ is a firm believer in plastic, and a firm opponent to wood. He's one of the only of this opinion on the forum, so go ahead with your renovation!

I was supposing that the F might be for Fletan... and maybe the P for Praia!

As far as the front sail goes, it still seems a bit small to me, but that's OK!

miight be
i ve made enough woodwork in this life to be fed up with it up polyesta once almost forever

j ai fait assez dans le travail du bois pour en avoir ma claque vive le polyester une fois fait qui dure

hello

thanks Old Gaffeur and JJ i will stay with the wood and restore it
about the mast and the boom i´m thinking on wood
i would like to have an idea about type of wood diameter for the mast and the boom and also the length.
If i compare my sails length and the beneteau photo they look almost the same size ???
i will try to use the sail i have and make the length according to that but what would be the correct size for the mast and boom on the Beneteau Fletan model according to the boat size ????
Best regards

might have enough alloyy profile to make a boom out of it ,problem is transport

Nice job you've done on the wood restoration!
I don't have the dimensions for the mast and boom handy, byt you can probably use your old ones as a template.

[Traduction]
Joli travail sur la restauration des boiseries
Je n'ai pas les dimensions du mât et de la bome sous la main, mais tu peux sans doute prendre tes anciens espars comme modèle.

[Note]
Praia voudrait s'orienter vers un gréément ( mât et bome) en bois, et voudrait connaitre les dimensions ( longueur et diamètre) des espars requis.
S quelqu'un peut le renseigner, même en français - JJ, Terenez, moi ou un autre feront volontiers la traduction pour notre ami portugais.

tu peux lui répondre que je vais mesurer sur le mien ce WE temps permettant.
Il suffira d'extrapoler par rapport à la hauteur du mien et c'est bon
Je vérifierai aussi sur un Galion voisin dont les cotes doivent s'approcher du sien

Praia, Rase Cailloux tells he's going to measure the mast and boom this week end on a boat similar to yours - if the weather is fine.

My Forban's mast height is 7.9m for a luff of the mainsail measuring 6.9m

Traduction
La hauteur du mât de mon Forban est de 7,90m pour un guindant de GV de 6,90m
