Junk rigged catamaran

[charlesakeem]

I'm back and after learning some i am thinking of a junk rigged catamaran does anybody have some examples of junk rigged cats.
Also what challenges do you think i'd face trying to junk rig someones design.
Looking to do this in a 35-40 foot range on a motorsailor

Also any other comments or opinions on junk rigged cats are also welcome.

The first boat , " China Moon " is Pete Hill`s old boat , ( Pete and Annie Hill , of "Badger" fame , look up their well known book ,
" voyaging on a small income " )

Badger was a Jay Benford dory monohull , but was junk rigged also.After Pete and Anne separated Pete built " China Moon ".

Bertrand`s boat , the Wharram Tiki , has a double sided type of junk sail.

You need to join the forum to read the full story about both boats ......

No one there is wildly excited about the idea.

Above: Two 1938 photographs of the junk-rigged catamaran, Kiamiloa. Built and skippered by the French adventurer, Eric de Bisschop, it sailed further than any multihull before it, from Hawaii to the Mediterranean coast of France, via the Cape of Good Hope.
