| Leave it the French to rely on two inefficient and

| I was at the DYC yesterday and saw a Nordica 20 that had supposedly been
in
| the South Pacific for 9 years before being sailed to Halifax via Panama.
| This is the strangest rig I have ever seen. It was called a "French
Rigged"
| system.
| It has a mast placed just aft of amidships and 2 roller furling
headsails...
| no boom, no mainsail. Apparently it sails... does anyone have any
| experience with this type of set-up? Has anyone else ever heard of it?
