Hello all,  

I have taken over the conversion of a Junk Rig from a previous owner. There have been a few posts on the technical forum about certain items such as the masts. Over time we will post updates to the rigging work for members to junk watch, critique, discuss, advise, or simply to enjoy. 

This is the first time we were able to fully raise the sails. Each weighs rough 200-300 Kg. Main sail is 80 sq m. Foresail is 50 sq m. So far we need to reposition the halyards which are currently soft tied to the aluminium yards.  We also need to convert the 2 part main halyard to a 3 part.
