    Bonjour

    There is also a luft hauling parel that goes up to the yard, which is unusual.

    I don't understad what prevents the top sail to be blown of the mast, especially when reefed, with the sail leeway.

    Bonjour,

    Looking more closely at the 2 pictures, I notice the "unconventional" way the yard is picked up, with, it seems, the end of the halyard routed through a small block near the top of the mast, then tied to the aft end of the yard.
    There doesn't seem to be any yard hauling parrel.

    (I'd like to have a norwegian opinion there !)

    There are no batten parrels on the 1rst and 2nd battens nor on the yard, but that may have been temporary.

    Sorry for using the word "unconventional", that may not belong to the junk rig vocabulary, as the field of experimentation is so widely open in that domain.

    Bonjour

    While we where manning (with Richard Dalglish) a JRA stand at the "Milles Sabords", a boat show dedicated to second handed boats, this boat was for sale (or one very similar). Between two scalls, I talked to the owner.

    She belonged to a ex-boatyard owner of Le Crouesty and was available with two rigs :

    - a cat boat rig in the American East cost spirit that was the one that he was sailing,

    - a junk rig that he never experimented.

    I didn't took the name or contact of the owner and I don't know if the boat was sold.

    That boat is also featured in a similar article on boatnews.com.

    the boat, or one very similar, is in our photogallery at https://junkrigassociation.org/photo_gallery/35132264 but it was uploaded by a “deleted user”, in other words a former member of JRA, so probably someone will remember it!

    Today this boat was featured in the "Magazine du nautisme du 01/03/2024" newsletter, but there was no mention of the junk rig in the article.

    I believe it is in France?
