Been talking with a gentleman who really likes sportfishing, and who really likes the 'stayless rig' (dynarig) concept, that further eliminates interference with any extra rigging lines.

But he also desires a relatively 'one level fishing deck' across the beam of the vessel. So here is a rough sketch of a modification to the 'elevating' fishing chair deck on the dynarig cat

I guess he missed seeing this subject thread, so I revitalized it

Brian,

"Cornish fishermen are rigging their boats for sails, as we report today, is one of the few (but possibly the first of many) positive results to arise from the rocketing price of fuel."

What was that Chinese quote, "May you live in interesting times" ?

...just saw this news from Sail-World.com, and being that it relates to 'supplemental wind power' I felt it belonged in this other subject thread
