    Those sails are quite wonderful - I wish I had the talent to do something similar on Fantail's sail.  The other truly splendid sail is that on Peregrine. Again, one gazes with envy.

    I quite like the partial red bit... it looks jaunty, and definitely distinctive.

    I think it indicates that junk rig sailors don't like to be boring, and are happy to take the path less trodden.

    But one red cloth is nothing at all, compared to the hand-painted works of art that Hans Schaeuble made of his sails.

    None of the above..... I think it indicates a resourceful member who uses the materials he has to hand, the bests way he can! 

    If you had a similar sized piece of green material, you could have green on the stbd side and red to port, perhaps aiding collision avoidance :-)

    I   was going to make some alterations on the top panel of Vanharouvas sail when
    I found a piece of red nylon cloth, and I immediately thought of the red panel in the logo. To my sadness I discovered that I hadn't enough  cloth for the whole panel so I decided to use it anyway and here is the result. Now a question puzzles my mind; does the partly red sail panel illustrate some sort of lower membership, a junior member;a member far away from the inner circles, a candidate for membership or just a poor junk member?

    happy sailing

    Rig progress is slow these days. The initial sailing went great, but I'm feeling like I have over a dozen boat projects to work on, and can't quite focus well enough to make good progress on any one of them. (Plus my life has non-boat-related demands)

    One big and long-deferred project is to build something to hold up the solar panels over my cockpit. And since I'm doing it, I want to do it right and make it work well with a full dodger/bimini or combination. Lots of thinking and some mockups on that one.

    Also my yards bend in use, and I found that somewhat alarming. When I tried to calculate how stiff/strong they were (independent of length) and compare them with aluminum pipe yards, I note that the failed yards on Fantail and Arion are slightly stronger than my main and slightly weaker than my mizzen. Now I find it even more alarming!

    Look under 'Burgees & Battle Flags', post #1207492 on 13th Feb.

    Yes, I think you coloured panels are a brilliant advertisment for the junk rig, and I wish more would use it.

    How are you getting on with the rig now?

    Cheers,  Slieve.

    *blush* Is this someone's way of saying that they like the color scheme for Flutterby's sails?

    If so, thank you :)

    It catches the eye, I certainly approve.

    I would also change to a fanned sail, traditional junks were mostly fanned, and it looks like the way things are developing.  But mainly as it looks prettier to my eye.

    (should we have a vote?)

    Regards  Mark

    I agree, I noticed it yesterday I think. Nice bit of contrast.
