    Thank you for posting the informations about Ha‘Penny.

    She is the sistership of my Farthing14, stretched to 17‘.

    See the photo below: Runa has a Split Rig. People had been very astonished, that she sailed in nearly no wind… and I swear, I didn‘t use my new electric minnkota.

    I find the 30 feet long Vertue derivate very interesting:

    The only thing that she needs is a big junk rig......

    PS. I copied the same sheet arrangement from a sketch of Paul T....it works quite good!

    The oddest thing to me is, I can't see where the mainsheet starts, or terminates.

    I can see the running end of the sheet going forward underneath the boom and down to the deck, so the fixed end must be on the pushpit.

    The lift cradle is unconventional, very sparse and simple.

    The sail seems to set with no other standing rigging, apart from mast parrels. 

    Is it a flat sail?

    (The sailplan drawing itself shows other (rather unusual-looking) standing rigging, not utilised in this photo).

    The oddest thing to me is, I can't see where the mainsheet starts, or terminates.


    Regarding the post on the Horizon 30: amazing amount of accommodation, the aft quarters must be massive  - it would make an excellent liveaboard, (and I don't mean that in any disparaging way) however I am sceptical when I read claims of this sort of boat "beating the pants off" bermudan rigged boat boats. The "vortex lift" idea might not be original - sounds like one of Slieve's ideas from years ago, but that is all about plan form, and the planform shown here leaves me a bit skeptical of that too.

    Still, they're all good, and nothing like a little bit of mystique, and "point of difference".

    Very cool little boat. Does anyone know if MacNaughton's "Blue Horizon 30" has ever been built?

    Yeah, I made the sail for it..... However it is not rigged correctly... notably the mast lift is missing.... there are a few other funnies! Communication has not been a strong point with this builder....

    Comparable in size with Sweet Thursday, the Bruce Bingham Flikka that Marcus was (is?) restoring.

    Here is another article on the Halfpenny

    Here is an article in Cruising World about Ha'Penny, a 20 foot voyaging junk.
