Hi all

Anyone know of a rig like this:

- rotating unstayed mast(not round)
- yard that can be hoisted to top of mast, with central hole that fits snugly around mast, so that yard rotates with mast.
- similar (larger) yard near deck that also rotates with mast
- rectangular sail that hoists with top yard
- reefing points down sides of sail attached to ends of lower yard with outhauls
- effectively a soft reefable version of dynarig
- I'm thinking (for example) 3 and 4 meter yards on 10 meter mast (above deck), giving ~35 square meter efficient rig


Cheers,

Col
