Your committee has quietly been trying to increase the interest of yachting magazines in the Junk Rig. Whether coincidentally or not, some have been running junk related articles on the websites - for example in relation to the 50th anniversary of the first junk rig circumnavigation by Bill King on Galway Blazer. We had issues press releases to bring attention to this.
Practical Boat Owner magazine has given junk rigs coverage in a number of articles recently, in relation to alternative rig types, rigs with unstayed masts, and now an article dedicated to junk rigs alone: https://www.pbo.co.uk/boats/winning-ways-with-a-junk-rig-81347
we much appreciate the coverage of our rig.
