    Have you considered junk rig. There are plans available from John Welmsford for the junk rig too. One has been built at Batemans Bay, NSW, Australia. A little bit more to set up initially but the sail can be made flat and reefs in a much shorter time and only one sail is necessary

    I have taken some photos of junk rigged fafnir in water afloat. Unfortunately I couldn’t get very close. What email address can I send them to?

      Hello, Rod!

      Well, we have a jib and a mainsail, they are being recut as we write, and that is the classical bermuda rig with the added taste of a ice-yacht mast. That means for the time being, the conventional “spreader” of the mast will not be there, but a single fixture point instead. And the boom will rotate with the mast. Quite the exciting thing. But pictures of a junk rig for comparison would be very cool! Please send them at uku.pyttsepp@hotmail.com

      Cheers,
      Uku
