waikiore 400 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 She is well built and if rigged as designed with a modern lug will sail exceedingly well, of course has a modern Yanmar for docking purposes a true trade wind machine . I just hope that because local riggers dont understand what a lugger can do they dont try and change the design. I have personally designed and built a carbon lugger and was astounded at the controllability and performance possibilities with this rig, often people see you and think that is a quaint gaffer- till you sail by planing....

ScottiE 174 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I hate undated articles like that - must be a pretty old article - Dick died in 2013. One of the great NZMYC club nights was having him talk! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vorpal Blade 89 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Wont upload a 659KB .jpg that is 3186 × 1333 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,239 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yep, that pic is way bigger than the screen your looking at - make it smaller... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addem 95 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Easy way in windows to make it smaller is to open it in the picture viewer and click on 'email'. It will ask how big you want it. Choose large and it'll be just perfect. It'll open an email with it attached. Just copy or save that to desktop and you can upload it from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
