Pete;
There was a guy named; "Blondie Hassler" who put a Junk Sail on a deep keel cut away hull. 26 feet long. He designed a wind powered self steering system and sailed her around and around the world by himself. The boat was named "Jester" To this day, one of the toughest upwind, single handed races across the Atlantic Ocean still carries a Class for small craft vessels named the "JESTER CLASS" So much for Junk Sails not being able to go up wind. A Folk Boat with a Single Junk Sail was the first winner and the class carries the name. Thought you might want to remind Doug that a Junk sail on a upwind designed hull will go very well upwind and do it easily on the skipper. Ole Thom |
