I appreciate your reply Alex .
The luff will be the same or possibly lengthened slightly.
I also like the longer higher peak gaff especially as I will not be adding a top sail. And since the opportunity presented itself with a mast with a longer gaff I immediately contemplated a small increase in sail area,as I race the boat occasionally, and reefing is easily accomplished.
I have put pen to paper in line with your suggestion regarding slippage aft of the CE . My gut instinct tells me the higher Gaff in Couta boat style will work fine.
Interesting to note your modification of Bucephalus’s keel. Interesting name can we see what she looks like?
