    I did think of adding those chinese style bulwarks, adds more deck space too. But decided against it, the BB is quite a light displacement boat and decided adding that much weight wouldn't be a good thing.
    However, I may need to add some flare to the bow somewhat, to have some work space around the anchor (as you said).

    These mods would certainly add to your build time, but I do think the built-up, flared-out bulwarks forward looked pretty cool.  And something to lean against when you're anchoring :-)

    Mods?  We try to avoid those, they add to build time, rather be sailing the damn thing, y'see.. 
    Unless..  I know you're a smart cookie Annie, spit it out...  which mods are you thinking of?

    As an aside, looking at Mungo, and after just reading in PJR about not having the foremast in front of the waterline, Mungo has it way-out there, on its own bow sprit just about. Makes me feel not so guilty.

    What wonderful looking boats!  Now Gary, building the Baby Badger can get a few ideas of mods he could make ...

    I added some 30 pictures of junks, all but one of modern-day junks, to the "Pictures of Old Junks" page.  I got all these pictures from, or because of, Godfrey Stephens, whose "Chief Mungo" was boat of the month a couple of months ago.
    Mungo began life as a junk sloop with one huge red sail, but as he aged he decided that he needed to split the load and converted it to a three master with three white sails.
    The Dory is - or was - Godfrey's daughter and son-in-law's boat.  Others are just friends of his.  They primarily sail the Salish Sea, out of Port Townsend, Washington.
