This is a compromise, Tord ;-). I like more serious approach, taken by this gentleman: http://alexm221100.googlepages.com/MADDOGSUE02.JPG I think this is BSD 32 sq.ft *2 .Upwind rig, a lot of sails, can tack upwind under the most of conditions, not to mention downwind or crosswind. I don't know why he is carrying a double-bladed kayaking paddle - on this kind of craft only one person would be able to paddle, which would result in speeds somewhwere up to 1.5 knots (with 2 people and outrigger). Makes more sense carrying 2 canoe paddles instead (this is what other people are doing on schooner-rigged trimaran doubles). With so much gear, heavy boat and no feasible paddling options one would inevitably realize the need to carry an outboard motor - and he carries it too. > Been out testing the junkrig for our Klepper XXL: > > http://foldingkayaks.org/gallery/A-lot-of-Junk%21?page=2 > > http://foldingkayaks.org/gallery/A-lot-of-Junk%21/P5192189 > > Best sail yet, but, as some of you might know, fairly complex to rig, > super simple to use! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
