OK, Alan has sent me the spreadsheet, and it can be accessed from the menu, left, under Junk Information->Useful Links->Sails, Masts and Gear under the heading 'Rig Conversions and Designs'.

We will try to keep this spreadsheet up to date, so if anyone has any additions, let Alan, or the Webmaster, or both, know and we will make the additions as they come in.

Point of order.

JRA Factsheet No. 5 was/is a list of boat designs which have been rigged/converted to junk rig - allowing owners to see if a boat of their type had already been done.

The current list has several instances of quite a few of the listed models, which seems to be a bit redundant, and will eventually produce a very long list indeed. However, where the several instances have been rigged by different designers, or in different ways, they may well be worth including. What do we think?

• it implies that the junk conversion is successful
• it allows members to contact owners, even if the owner of the original design is not a member

If we are doing this as a spreadsheet, an idea might be to put, for example Rocket Ship 25*.  The asterisk would mean that more than one of this design has been built.  Then, on Sheet 2 of the spreadsheet, could be listed all the other Rocket Ships (and Badgers and Sprays and whatever), so that the person who was seriously interested could find out more, while the person searching for something other than the Rocket Ship 25 could go straight on to Rolling Stone 33 and continue down the list of designs.

Now we have it as a spreadsheet we can do lots of different things, but I am against having separate lists as that means you have to update both of them every time something changes.

When opening the new list just now it is read only, but people can use the tools in Excel to sort the list any way they want.

I quite like Annie's idea of putting an asterisk (or and asterix!) next to the models where there is more than one conversion or even putting a number in brackets to show how many there are, as there are lots of Kingfishers out there. At least with her idea the additional ones are on the same workbook, and we would only need to add some text to tell people what the asterisk or number in brackets means, and how to find the extra boats.

I felt it was worth showing on the main list where there are different rig types on the same hull, as this makes it easier if people are interested in schooners, say, or swingwings.

OK Paul - they're added & latest version uploaded.
