Hmm, reminds me of a song, "there's a mast in your funnel dear Lars dear Lars, there's a mast in your funnel dear Lars a mast. Well shift it dear..." couldn't help myself :P

Thought of the dynarig but wasn't sure of the esthetics, it seems more suited to yachts with a low narrow hull and low superstructure, and with turn of the century classics, hmm 4 on the Saravona would be magic. A normal rig has to many stays etc for a large motor sailor M/Y and is too ineffecient, though I see you can with new materials do away with stays etc, I guess at the moment a wingsail is going to be permanently set, unless you go with a kite. Hmm. With the price of fuel so high, I guess a private nuclear M/Y is out of the question.

Drifting a bit off topic so time to brain storm in my own time hehe.

Cheers Lars.
