In case no one is fimilar with it I happened across this French trawler powercat that is suggesting an auxillary sail rig, a bi-pod configuration: <http://www.bcatpower.com/angl/bienvenue_1.htm> I've seen a few other variations on this same theme in the past, but I don't know if they're still on my computer after a crash I suffered. I've sketched a few bi-pod versions of my mast-aft rig as well. Brian Eiland beiland@usa.net http://www.RunningTideYachts.com distinctive multihull expedition yachts
