: Hi John, I've seen photos of that A-frame rig in a sailing magazine a while
: back, interesting.
: There's another single sail rig called a Delta rig, designed by Claud Bowden.
: the mast is shaped like the boom of a windsurfer and rotates at the foot,
: the sail is fan-like. It's based off the Chinese junk rig but reminds me
: of a fully battened lateen with a boons at the foot of the sail.

Hi Mike,

I couldn't find any Delta rig Pictures but I did come across some interesting experimental sailing rigs at http://uk.geocities.com/fnsnclr@btinternet.com/yachts/photos/index.htm

Some might be of interest to Bill Hamm that have sail board sails. The picture of the sail wing could be a good project that looks fun. And by flipping the wing over to the other side for tacking you wouldn't have to be changing the wing shape internally for tacking.
