Just some pics regarding some model rigs.
I've been bothered by the inefficiency of mainsails so this is
perhaps something that might work.
I don't know the technical ins and outs but do have some practical
experience.
Years ago there was a rig designed for cats that had a mast canted 5
degrees forward, a small wishbone boomed main and 2 large jibs -
cutter rig.
Didn't catch on, never heard anymore about it.
My mono hull wouldn't sail on main alone, went fine on just jib.
My favourite of the group pictured is the L rig. Don't know if its
possible to construct something like that full size, but I imagine
like any engineering problem there is a solution.
Any thoughts?
