    Thank you all for the encouragement. I will be sending this off to John W but I wanted to make sure there was nothing drastically wrong first.

    It might be well worthwhile approaching John himself.  He is very pro junk rig and I am sure would encourage you with your ideas.

    It all looks sensible to me. The placement of the CE in the same place it it would be for a cutter rig is right, if there is camber in the panels, but a long keel design like this is fairly uncritical in placement of the rig.

My member profile has an album that sets out the modifications but essentially I drew a Van Loan type sail of close to the original area and placed the junk C of E over the original cutter rig C of E. Any comments would be greatly appreciated, particularly if there is something drastically wrong.
