(I tried to revive an old thread called "Sail Covers" but for some reason there is no way to "reply". Am I missing something here?)
Anyway, I've just finished watching a video clip on facebook (here) by Kris, showing some of the rigging details on Anna Lucja 2.
It would be hard to find a boat anywhere more bristling with interesting details as this boat. All well thought out, it seems – and evidently well proven.
The sail catchers – perfect accessory for the junk rig IMHO - just as they should be, with mast in between the two skeletal tubes, and the catcher suspended by the lifts, via a strap around the bundle (not directly from the tubes).
And the tabernacles – as they should be, not with that bad (IMHO) pin through the mast, but with the axis of rotation set on the aft portion of the tabernacle.
I wish I knew how the halyard works.
No doubt much more explanation in the commentary, but as I don’t understand a word of Polish I can’t comment further.
For those not on facebook, here are a few screenshots.
Hopefully one day we will be able to publish the full story of this radical and extremely interesting vessel, and its interesting voyages.
