Had some specific questions about wood stove especially. I lucked into my perfect boat, Star Tracker a Waterline 33. Busy with the refit for now but hopefully out and about within a year. <br /><br />StarTrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397145671928380261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28092890.post-13514917458219594902022-03-09T11:53:57.375+13:002022-03-09T11:53:57.375+13:00Thanks for your comment, Rekka.
I think almost wi...Thanks for your comment, Rekka.<br /><br />I think almost without exception, people who dislike junk rig have never sailed one. The universal disparagement is that 'they don't go to windward'. Well, of course they go to windward, they just don't go as quickly or point as high as a racing boat with new sails. On the other hand, you will see junks beating up narrow channels, where pointy rigs are motoring, simply because the junk is so easy and such fun to sail in this situation. Since I launched FANSHI, I have never been able to compare her with another pointy rig of similar size, beating to windward, for the simple and sufficient reason that they always motor. That being so, I cannot understand why they're bothered that junk rig 'doesn't go to windward'.<br /><br />There are two junk-rigged boats for sale in New Zealand at present: three, if you include the catamaran, ORYX. the 34ft TYSTIE has been mentioned in this blog, back in 2012 and is for sale on Trade Me. A Contessa 26 will also soon be on the market. I have heard that she's a bit rough and ready, but she has been set up in a similar fashion to MINGMING.Annie Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041579902512914369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28092890.post-68039162540564541432022-02-24T04:26:22.112+13:002022-02-24T04:26:22.112+13:00Great post, so happy for you after such long hard ...Great post, so happy for you after such long hard work.

You are treating each other...Happy birthday FanShi! You are treating each other well I see :). My partner & I are vegan, can't say we're happy about choices available to us in restaurants either. I liked the produce in New Zealand, I remember buying a ton of chili peppers and avocados from a used boat gear store in Whangarei, thought it was so odd to find produce there but it was not too expensive and very good! We'd walk out with the odd boat bit, and a bag-full of yummy foods.<br />I love seeing FanShi's sails up, would love to own a boat like this someday but they are rare in these parts, and everytime my partner & I talk about junk rigs with other local sailors they start listing why they think we shouldn't want one, and it is exhausting. <br />Thank you for the inspiration. Big fan of you and Roger Taylor.
