I had a bit of correspondence recently with Kirill (Bumblebee – see July “Boat of the Month") and he sent me this photo of a Puddle Duck with a junk rig.
(The Puddle Duck (Wikepedia) is “A Puddle Duck Racer or PD Racer is an 8 foot long, 4 foot wide, 16 inch high, spec series, racing sailboat. It is a one design hull shape with wide options in other areas. Billed as "the easiest sailboat in the world to build", the scow hull is a simple box, usually built of plywood.” Should have been featured in the JRA dinghy design competition!)
Anyway, I thought it might be the smallest junk rig on record, so far.
Then Kirill replied with this photo of his trimaran, which he junk-rigged as a prototype for Bumblee’s rig - and later used it as "a technology demonstrator" at local messabouts.
Is this the smallest actually sailing junk rig ?
Can anyone top these?
