    While I'm almost certain that "Arne Kverneland" is a real name, I'm also pretty sure that there's a real human being behind "Snow Leopard" (probably someone who owns a boat called Snow Leopard and not an actual snow leopard) and I can never really understand the problem. The YBW forums in particular seem generally friendly and helpful, although they do have a sense of humour that takes some getting used to.

    I shall be over there promoting JR anyway, and would welcome company.

    The ever busy YBW forums have a thread asking "Why so little about Junk rigged boats both on here?".  I thought I'd mention it in case any of you fancy pitching in, not necessarily to that thread, but by putting across the JR perspective on that forum in general.  I think I might be a bit of an outlier and don't want to misrepresent you all!
