Kiteroa 8 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm in the process of getting the Townson 2.4 dinghy back into working order and would like replace the rig and sails. The ones I have are obviously not to the original plan. If anyone has a sail plan drawing I could get some measurements from, this would make life a lot easier. Normally Allan Hooper would be the man, but he's in OZ currently and doesn't have access to his records for the boat. Anyone able to help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Project finished. The original plan didn't include carbon spars or fibre-lay sails but Des would probably be sweet with it.... Probably..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
w44vi 17 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Nice sail insignia what is the toy in the back ground Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 hay that looks good,at a guess i'd say that is w.t(wild thing) in the back ground? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yeah, the Young is still hanging out in the back yard. Just building a tent over her so the real work can begin! The Townson goes for it's first sail in the morning... Should be a little machine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I Reckon knowing Des the original would have been so well balanced it would probably be just as quick! Like the guys that turbo the piedys and the originals keep up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Probably no quicker than the original, but a lot lighter and easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WillB 0 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Am also trying to sort my Townson 2.4 and am looking for details of the sail plan. The two images mentioned in this post are not showing up for me, anyone able to help get the pictures or any details about the rig to me? Thanks in anticipation...
