Not an answer to your question, but I would LOVE to hear more about your Michalak junk conversion. I'm thinking about converting a similar length boat (Dave Carnell's Nutmeg) and I'd love to hear how it has gone.
Hi all, I have just converted my Michalak "Blobster" to a Junk rig. I'm just exploring options for self-steering using some kind of sheet-to-tiller system. Can this work on a Junk rig?
