Bonsoir

Nice sailing in the "Golfe du Morbihan" on a nice boat and fear weather !

merci

At least first outing under sail with my Primaat Circé !

All I was expecting from the junk rig was here : ease of hoisting, ease of reefing, ease of tacking, excellent view ahead, rig very silent. Perfect !

And I was very lucky that my sail set up very well with few wrinkles, with minimal tweaking of the luff hauling parrel and the yard hauling parrel. The performance was excellent, hull speed with 10-15 knots of wind from astern, and tacking throught 90° upwind.

I'm a very happy sailor !

Hello, a short video of my last winter navigation, with light wind. Always very pleased with my rig

Hi, thanks for the interest.

I bought this boat 2 years ago, she was kept dry for 20 years  waiting for her restoration.

You can see the work in progress in this french forum : http://forum.bateaux-bois.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3801 , if you don't understand french at least there's a lot of pictures.
