Hi Rich Please remember that I'm still feeling my way a little here. The split rig on Poppy was completely new ground, but the result great. Moving on involves...
Looking at your drawings, I have not done the math yet, but from an engineering perspective, would it not be incredibly difficult to ensure that boat stays...
Marion is a twin bilge keeler which I found in a derelict state in a field a couple of years ago. The main reason for choosing a tabernacle was for the room...
Interesting......I think we found the same boat..........300 dollars Canadian.....and she's a bilge keel. OK need to get into this seriously and learn how to...
Stavanger, Saturday Hi folks It seems that my "Arne's chain Calculator" write up continues to produce some confusion as to what is the Camber in a sail and...
Not to be overly critical but there is something intuative that bothers me with the mast location being on the front of the cabin. Have a look at page 10 of...
Hi /ch Please be careful how you read my draft notes, as you have misquoted me. I did NOT suggest "that with a spilt rig in most cases the mast position...
Thanks for the heads up. I was reading it last night and it was very interesting. I did not mean to misquote you rather pointed out that it might be possible...

How can I get this down by a professional where it won't cost me the earth? And as for the junk rig - I am discovering as I research that there are junk rigs,...
I know this question is kind of off-the-wall, but... I was wondering about the feasibility of adding a junk rig to a production powerboat, probably a larger...
Do you have the evergreen book: Practical Junk Rig?. Blondie had great trans Atlantic passages with that rig. Now the sail shape has improbe adding camber....
I think that the IF is an excellent candidate for corverting to junk rig. I would just give her a sloop rig (1 stick, 1 sail) which is easy to deal with and...
Not at all a stupid idea. I've often thought that if you wanted a sailing rig as an auxiliary drive for vessels of (almost) any type or size, then a junk rig...

I was thinking it would be relatively easy to uninstall if I wanted to sell the boat, then sell the rig separately. No chainplates, stays, etc., to take off...

Hi Michael ... I like this idea. A square sail built like a junk sail. You should build a model of it to test how it is to reef. May be you will get a lower...
I remember flipping through the "blue book" of local craft in SE Asia/Vietnam put together by our military when there was still working sail there. The...

Isn't the junk rig defined by having multiple battens and reef points? Otherwise it becomes one of the usual lug rigs. Incidentally a single square sail,in...

Frank, Barb, Just bought a 1974 Venture 22 this weekend, and will probably put an H&M-style junk rig on it. Frank, when this thread was last active you hadn't...
