I am looking at the design for a trimaran that I want to build, a Searunner 34 foot. This is designed as a stayed, Marconi rigged, single mast rig. Now, given...
It is unlikely that your current mast can be converted to a junk rig. Junk masts are shorter and heavier than marconi masts, even if they are stayed against...
After re-reading your post, I see that you aren't converting an existing a boat, but building one. Note that a junk mast requires at least 10% bury. After...
... It seems to be normal for the mast to move forward, since that sail is replacing both the main and the jib. As a multi that can pick-up quite a bit of...
... Worth considering would be a junk jawl, as then the mast has to come even further forward, maybe less impeding access to the forepeak (don't know the...

... I appreciate the response, and maybe I was unclear, I have plans for the boat, not a boat itself. I was wondering what modifications would need to be made...
Ian, what I can see on the two Searunner 34 drawings that I have: very symmetrical design, with the mast standing right in the center of the boat (for and aft)...

Thanks for the reply Sarah. The info you provided was very helpful. $2000 for sails isn't too bad. I guess the 38 needs the foredeck rebuilt also. I'm still...
We're sewing up a replacement for our polytarp main and were wondering if anyone's used Top Gun fabric for their sails? T. Colvin recommends it and has used it...
I sent off a note to John Marples, a designer of multihulls, about modifying his design for a junk rig. This is the relevant part of his response, and I would...
We sew up a 800 sqft Hasler sail with top gun. It was in fact quicker than I anticipated. We used a sailrite machine and two people could handle the long seams...
