Good results working with the "new tack" mock-up rig this weekend! There's a new Page I've put up on it - A Working Crabclaw Sail:

I'm happy enough now with this rig that I'd use it tomorrow if I could build a new boat! That's all I can ask. The ancients have already done it all for me! All I ever needed was a way of short-handing the rig. I'm ready to go sailing now!
