    Hey Everyone,

    My wife and I just posted this tour video of our boat in its current condition to youtube click the link here to go to the youtube video (https://youtu.be/e8G0p0ZG1T4?si=xQjIsjBl9vvF2AzC) 

    In it we discuss our pros and cons of converting to a Junk Rig at the end of the video. 

    After a long time of planning and preparing for our refit of our Vagabond 47, we are now getting into the actual work. 

    I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this conversion or if you think we missed anything. 

    Thank you. I also attached the Sailplan from Boswell Designs to this post. 

    Sincerely,

    Braddock
