Has anyone tried a cutter rig with the vacationer design?

[The Bridget Marrigan]

Hi guys,

Just ordered my plans and am starting to get my shop in order.

Just had a quick question:

Has anyone ever tried a cutter rig with Stevenson's Vacationer?

If so, were there any drawbacks? Any benefits?

Did it unbalance the rig?

Thanks,

This doesn't seem to be getting any takers. Perhaps you should ask Mike Stevenson?

Dave, I assume you aren't thinking of moving the mast aft. Seems to me someone on the forums has talked about modifying the bowsprit and whatnot with the idea of carrying a second headsail. Try posting this on the main forum.
