    What are Shunters, and how do they work?

    Oceanic Lateens are the original rig for Shunters, but land locked waters with ever changing conditions, don't fit a rig developed for trade winds ocean sailing...

    Junk Rigs solved the problem, but getting them to shunt took months of trial and error...

    Keep Junking

    and Shunting....
