    Your post doesn't mention it but I'm assuming this is the famous vessel Ming Ming of your arctic adventures?

    Undoubtedly Mingming and proof that Mingming II has proved a success!  I bet she won't be on the market for long.

    Just saw it via YBW and I'm quite surprised how low she's been priced. Had I not already sunk an equal amount of money into fitting out my own boat (not that it shows), which unfortunately is still way from being seaworthy, I'd be seriously tempted. Hope she finds a good home!

    I was going to say that she deserves to rest in a museum until I realised how stupid this thought was. She deserves a good sailor who will be able to sail her for milles again and again.

    This is just to let people know that Mingming is now sold. I am delighted that she has gone to my very good friend Eric Andlauer, the French transatlantic sailor and engineer. Eric will be using Mingming as the platform for developing his version of a junk wing sail (as an ex-French army pilot Eric knows a thing or two about wings). Eric is now registered on the JRA site and will no doubt be sharing his ideas and progress.

    Bonjour

    Thank you for all these nice words. 

    For the French fluent readers (smile) the demonstrator of a soft (very soft) junk wing is documented on

    PS : I thought, as a French man (nobody is perfect), that the junk in junk-rig was the same as the junk in junk-art. So I build a junk-junk-wing and it worked !

    Pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué ?

    Exactement.

    But seriously:

    You seem to be advocating flexible battens, preferring them to articulating battens. On "conventional junk rigs, flexible battens were discarded a long time ago, as being liable to bend too much in strong winds, too little in light winds. Have you a solution to this?
