I used a spar gauge for 8-siding and 16-sided by eye. And by the time it was 16-sided the sanding was surpisingly easy. It was one of those things in life, like using a manual SLR camera for the first time, that looks complicated but turns out to be elegantly simple and satisfying.

Yes I agree, it took me two goes to make the yard for Sneaky as the first was way to flexible but I have to agree it is very pleasing to make a round spar. I thought it would be difficult but small steps and making sure I didn’t remove too much material has resulted in a really nice round (and tapered) yard that has the flex characteristics I was after.
Did you use a spar gauge or do it by eye?
