The original 6 foot prototype model of Star-Rigging


This is the original 6 foot model, built in 2004. You can see that the general idea works well enough to explore further. Just by pulling a pair of lines (which are joined together) the mast tilts and the sail travels the length of the boat to arrive at the "new bow" simultaneously.
