    A lot of respect for your achievment.

    Really love the "unconventional" way.

    I wish we can soon see a video of how to shunt your junk rigged proa.

    Nice sailing ground you have there!

    Hi guys, after breaking a rudders and a few other things we're back at it. Second sail and all is good, rudders work perfect! Just a touch of weather helm, 55 to windward, over 4 knots in a F3 and she goes smooth as a baby's bottom...

    Thanks Paul, she sails great too...

    Now we start fine tuning, a touch of lee helm that I can sort out by just moving my yard parrel and just pull on all the others...

    I actually did it intentionally, meaning I designed the sail to come 2% forward of my planned CLR, knowing that it's easier to pull a Junk back than push it forwards...

    So all Good

    Keep Junking
