Maybe Michael Edelman knows? "With a yawl rig the dagger board could be further back ... - just dreaming Yes. I'd like to try that with the Klepper S4 rig - stick a mizzen in the back of the cockpit. I have seen pictures of ketch or yawl rigged Pouches and Pioniers. Why not a Klepper?" Evidently the rear end of the cockpit coaming is much better fastened to the frame than in a Kepper Aerius. Been toying with the idea of making a new frame #6 slightly forward of the original position that doubles as the rear of the coaming and as the frame, to which the coaming would be secured properly. As it is you can't fit an Pouch-style outboard-attachment there, nor can you install a mizzen! Just too flimsy! While being at it I would widen the frame a little so the top becomes flat (frame # 7 would have to be modified, too), as that makes it easier to load things on it and easier to do a self rescue! But a mizzen would sure be useful!
