    Broads yacht, Moonshadow

    These boats look like great deal of fun - low and shallow hull and giant rig. . .

    Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

    How to get a perfect set on a gaff rig. Don't have peak halyards, hang it all off the topsail.

      Wouldn't that be a Bermudan sail with a very, very heavy batten?

        Looks like a Gunter rig to me, with a big-a batten

          a bit like our Erie pound net rig and Great Lake sharpie rigs, which integrate the top and the main replacing the gaff with an overlarge batten. . .
