"There will always be men who will be drawn to the lonely reaches of the sea. There, where the ships ply their courses under full sail, a share of freedom and adventure can be found. Life at sea has a rhythm of its own: violent storms, spray, and rain give way to days of peace and relaxation. Sailing is a way of life for which there is no substitute."

Thanks to Perry Phillips for forwarding the drawings for a Junk-Rigged Flicka. He says that the sail is similar to the Flicka owned by Jack Gera, but not the exact same rig.

For more information about the junk rig as a cruising option see Michael Kasten's site.
