Question:
The instructions call for a "standard lumberyard member" measuring 2"x6"x14'. I can't figure out how the curve is achieved since a piece of wood that large is not going to simply bend that much.

Answer:
It does bend in place, but requires some husky clamps and a well braced building form. If you prefer you can make the keel in two lams of 3/4" stock.

Mast length: 20'
Boom length: 8' 3"
