INFORMATION ABOUT G30 TALL RIGS
I was asked how many G30 Tall Rigs were built. Gill Bibby provided this information.
There are no numbers as how many
tall rigs as to standard ones that was built.
It was an extra that was placed as the vessels were ordered.
The main difference was that the sail shape changed to go higher as was the mast
and boom.
The mast was taller and the boom was shorter on the tall rigs
This moved the center of effort in the sail plan to a higher spot.
Sails from a tall rig will not fit the short rig.
I will have to read the sail plans to be more precise on the actual figures of
sail area sq footage and center of effort.

I had "Prospero" built over the 1973-1974 Winter in Oakville. She is hull 226. "Prospero" has been successfully sailed single handed to Bermuda twice, and to California by way of the Panama Canal. From Panama to Newport Beach we were at sea 44 days.
