    I've just checked and the Contessa 26 isn't listed.  If I had more time, I'd help update it... but launch date has been set and I've got a bit on at the moment ;-)

    If you take the interior of the boat in the consideration, you have a problem, no doubt.

    In Edmond Dantes you would sleep With the mast. The forgiving thing was it was Wood, and huggable. In Marie G the mast is at the head, and I can live With that. The X-99 also have a large bed under the cockpit, wich is not affected. Most of the boats on the marked is Bermuda rigged With the interior layout in accordance. Rerigging them will always be awkward interior wise.

    Hi,

    Frankly, I doubt that a sailing wessel has been constucted and work with a sail(!) that cannot be rerigged to junkrig. 


    One thing I can think of is where the placement of the keel stepped mast would interfere heavily with the interior layout.

    well, i'm still a n00b when it comes to boats…
    i'm still learning how to sail my li'l boat!
    but i know sooner or later i'll look for a bigger boat (24-27')…
    and then i'd like to be prepared…
    and i'd also like to know which boats may are possible to change.
    somewhere i've read that there are some which aren't as suitable for junk-rigs than others…

    Well if it sounds like a plan, it must be one! Please  confirm or otherwise, George. If this is a definite plan, we'll add it to the Join In > Members Projects forum. Just say :-)

    A good place to start could be by working through Members' Area > Members' Boats and use the data there to update the list.

    Hi,

    Frankly, I doubt that a sailing wessel has been constucted and work with a sail(!) that cannot be rerigged to junkrig. After all, it is a question of the center of forces from the sail being transmitted to the hull through the mast. How the hull reacts is a question of getting all in balance. The junksail is just another sail with its built in properties, construktion wise and handling wise. We who love to use it, are satisfied with the rigs positive sides and can live with or tolerate the negative.
