    Bobby,
    Could I suggest you start with this 'Junk Rig for Beginners' ? 

    I once made a junkrig for a dinghy, and found that it worked brilliantly well. Just remember to use very light sail material, about,2-3 ounce. On such a little 'model boat' ordinary cloth (4 -8 ounce) will be too stiff to take the right camber.

    Good luck!

    I recently purchased a small, well more accurately, a tiny microcruiser and feel it needs a junk rig.  It's almost as if the boat is calling out for this transformation.

    Well that is my project.

    Also I would like to mention that I don't know jack about junk rigs, but am hoping for a transformation as well.
