I have an old walker bay 8 for which i have made a rudder, dagger board and sailing gear . i used an old windsurfer mast and sail and made up my own gooseneck etc from delrin block . i have sailed it and all is ok from beam reach aft but she will not go to windward and definitely will not tack . i think that using a gf pole from a ws with its flex may be the problem . i was thinking it may be better if i rig shrouds and a forestay ( probably just rope and not sure how i would attach at the top ). anyone with experience have any advice ?
