Thank you for sharing your lovely ketch. There are so many benefits to be had having junk rig.

Wow your sheeting system is sweet

[@cantycanvas4150]

I second that opinion! Single sheets makes it necessary to have ample space aft of the sail, but this double sheeting system does away with that. A very neat idea.

Hi. I am interested in that camber of 10% you talk about, created by hinges. Do yiu have any more picture or video of that? Also, given yhat you have that camber and a jib at the front, is there actually any difference to a bermuda/Marconi rig at all? Seems like you should be able to point well into the wind. Anyways, got any pictures or more info on those hinges in the battens. Close up pictures on the construction?

Hi, we were kindly granted permission to use this video by the nice people at the fourlyons KZbin channel and there you can see much more. Also, look at the material in www.junkrigassociation.org - we have a lot there open to the public and annual membership is less than €10 if you need more

The look and feel of a junk rig and the sailing experience remains quite different to a Bermuda rig.

Nice video but the link doesn't work. I think it should be this - kzbin.info
