Pete,

Not only a good downwind rig but of all rigs there is none that's reefs
easier. Just release halyard tension and the sail reduces to a new sheet
batten and your sailing with less sail.

I like my rig, with full batten main in Lazy jack & self furling 150 but
I do envy the Junks reefing ability.

I also like the junks, and Colvin hulls for their ability to dry out on
the beach for easy repairs.

Pete; A side bar on D. Johnson. I invited him aboard my Pilothouse 29
footer for coffee and a chance to look her over (Like a proud father)
After looking her over Dick asked who designed her. When I had no
answer, he looked at me in discuss. Finished his coffee and left. If you
are in contact with Tom Colvin you can confirm D. Johnson admiration for
his designing ability.
