Terry B 71 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Awesome, I've been semi following the build - great to see her in the water. Those junk rigs have always fascinated me. Something about the way they look............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 399 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Very nice, looks better than the plans too. I bet none of them would pass my Cornish style lugger-it planed. Hopefully they are all heading to Mahurangi for one of their junkets .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad Ms. Hill is making her's come true Oh yes all jokes aside, the Junk rig has its place, a relative did a 7 year world cruise on a Junk Rigged boat and very successfully too !. He rigged a forestay on the otherwise free standing mast and had a small Jib which helped with going to windward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,586 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Haven't seen pne. A couple of square riggers though. I missed some as I was having an afternoon siesta. Interesting sitting in the cockpit watching them all come in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
