I'm thinking of making a Genki and have found some basic plans for dimensions but they dont seem to show if the verticals or bow or diagonal spars are in full length pockets or if they have ties etc If anyone has some pics of the back of a genki I would appreciate a look at them if not any advice would be much appreciated

Usually I think just the diagonals go in full length pockets, everywhere else just uses ties.

Hi Baz
My little Genki (5m) originally just had ties for the cross spar and tunnels for the diagonal stiffeners which is all I would normally fit. However due to the fact that is has very light weight telescoping cross spar that takes on a natural curve (no blowline) I ended up adding tunnels to keep the spar in place.

Baz,
Not normally as they are short enough and stiff enough for the end pockets and the tie at the crossing point with the cross spar to be enough to hold them in place.
