It might have been the music but that brown sail switcheroo was beautiful to watch

Thanks. I've got your outrigger book. Been reading through it for years. Working on a little outrigger and sail setup for my 12' canoe. Haven't done any sailing yet, but I've almost got all the pieces together. Every visual helps.

The first design with the shunt rail reminds me of a design by Rael Dobkins of Balkan Shipyard used on one of his proas. The second kite design is very elegant and seems super easy. It is similar to sails on outrigger sailing canoes in Bali. Good luck with the water trials.

the Gibbons rig is pretty cool.
@robingraham68203 жыл бұрын
I have to say your Gibbons Dierking rig looks brilliant. It looks like a lot of sail area? Is it easy to handle in a blow and can it be reefed? We live in the Orkney Isles, 40 miles north of the tip if Scotland, so we are very exposed to high wind and sea from all directions and some formidable tides. I like the Amatasi by James Wharram, but his plans are very expensive, so I have a notion that I could build a couple of Extended Ulua and use, either a crab claw rig or preferably a junk rig. I also see no reason that your Gibbons Dierking could not be used as a tacking rig rather than a shunting rig. Whatever I build will have to have good shelter for the helm. If only I were a rich man, but as they say, “necessity is the mother of invention.

No one has figured out a good way to reef it so it is still a beach boat rig and not suitable for a long cruise.

Oh! Never mind, it could have been fun. I need something “sensible” like a 26 foot bilge keeler with a decent diesel engine and a modest rig. What I WANT is very different. I will probably end up with a Westerly Konsort for longer trips to the main island and something from your book for fun, fun, fun. The weather here is very unpredictable and the ability to stop overnight is important. Our island is about 20 miles from the main island so I need a boat that I can be comfortable on for a couple of days if the weather turns. It would also be very handy to have portable accommodation at the main island because hotels are very expensive.

This looks like an interesting boot! is there somewhere I could read more about it? Especially the control lines on the gibbons rig. is the sail trimmed using the same lines that pull it back and forth during the shunt?
@vakaman3 жыл бұрын
The line controlling the shunt is separate from the main sheet. It is all explained with construction plans in my book. www.amazon.com/Building-Outrigger-Sailing-Canoes-Dierking/dp/0071487913/ref=sr_1_1/002-8900715-7170409?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180055974&sr=8-1

Is it necessary for the mast to tilt like that?
@vakaman Жыл бұрын
It is the best way to get the sail forward enough. If the mast is more centered, strong weather helm will result and a very large steering paddle is necessary to balance it.

@@vakaman Ok. Thank you! I’m new (and ignorant) to sailing. Very much interested in building something small that I can paddle but also sail. Something simple that I can use to explore the coast.
