    After three years working on Finch preparing her to become a junk, its finally time to seriously consider what said junk will look like.  I have drawn her up with so many sail plans over those years I have lost count.  The incredible amount of information at the Junk Rig association has made the process rich and enjoyable.  Thank you all for sharing your expertise. 

    In the end I am thinking I would like to adapt a David Tyler Weaverbird style sail to Finch.  I already have the mast and it will sit 30 feet above the partners. I had to draw the sail at a lower aspect ratio than Weaverbirds sail to bring the center of effort back closer to the center of lateral resistance.  The result is a sail with an aspect ratio of 1.875. 

    I have created an album in my profile with the drawing that is the most current iteration of the sail plan in case anyone would find it enjoyable to take a look and throw some critique my way.  I wasn't sure how to post a picture in here or I would have. I would love to get the opinions from those that know more than I.  Thanks.
