    A BSY/JRA Project of mind Power... How about it???

    Since I consider myself a fearful Junk Rigger... Just messed up too many times!

    So, gonna go shelf foot, may the Force be with us....

    Anyway, Video and Photo below show the full design.

    The Photo is a mess... Ideas, Questions and dimensions all in 1 image below. the Video explains the basic design, then a short experience why Junks are great! Again getting me out of trouble...


    QUESTIONS: 

    How about 3 types of Cloth? How heavy?? What's easy to find in Europe??? Total Sail Area 18 Square Meters.

    How about bottom panel being the most narrow, since it's the longest... Then, rising up, as they get shorter... They get wider? That way panels are roughly all the same size, but that makes them harder to design and make, since each panel becomes individual....

    So what do you think? your thoughts are very welcome.

    Thank you.

    Keep Junking

    BSY
