    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

    besides

    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 ......

    He is frequently on the multihull section of Cruisersforum.com

    No one there is wildly excited about the idea.
