Since I have no masts, I am thinking of using Chinese lug sails. I
have the Van Loan book, receive the junkrig yahoo group, and have
found much info on the internet on the subject, very positive.

My question is: Has anyone had negative experiences with these sails,
and are there any reasons not to use them?
Why don't we see them more in the US if they are as great as I have
read?

If you know anything about them, please post your opinion, good or
bad.


Get a copy of Practical Junk Rig by Hasler & McLeod.

There is/was a very active group in the UK.

From memory, think it is Junk Rig association.
