motscg Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 Par, I would definitely consider a high-peaked gaff rig. In fact I thought of that option first since I am used to raising a gaff on my lateen rigged sailing canoe. Problem was being able to find gaff jaws (I found one UK company that makes them) or having proper plans to build one. Also, I thought that a gaff rig was more prone to twist than a gunter sail plan, but I guess I have it backwards. I have a Bauer 10 on order (to replace my Walker Bay 10 (anyone want a WB10?)) and the Bauer is gunter rigged, so I will be getting some experience with it this summer. Quote
