The new rig... Ongoing

For those readers who forget what a Lapworth designed CAL 34 looks like with it's normal rig...

 

The new Simplicity rig, however, looks like this...

Now for a comparison here is what the two rigs look like on top of each other...

As you can see the mast is quite a bit shorter (seven feet shorter to be precise) and is now a cutter rig. Even with the shorter mast the working sail area is more than the standard CAL 34 with main and jib... Neat!

Monday we will answer the question... "What kind of rig is this anyway?"
