I watched all your videos and love your lug rig. Did you build from scratch or the kit? I would like to use the same rig when I build my dory. Would you be willing to allow me to consult Mr. Harris about the conversion he set you up with?
The NE Dory sail rig comes stock with a sloop rig, but I asked for help with a Lug Rig. John Harris of CLC designed and gave great advice for the conversion. I love it - less lines on a small boat, almost as efficient as conventional rig, and it looks salty!
I'm planning on building the Northeaster Dory this summer. How long did it take you to build?

What was the wind speed that day? Poppo looks too comfortable. If you had a jib he could be fiddlnig with the jib sheets :-)

@anim8ted923 I'm guessing 8-10mph. Doesn't take much to get her moving.
The stock sail rig comes with a main/jib configuration, but I wanted to keep it simple. That is a Balance Lug rig.

I like your rigging. Did you design that yourself?What are the sail dimensions? Are you happy w/ the results?

Are you smuggling that old man into the country?
Why is he afraid to move? Does he speak English?
Poor thing, must be frightened out of his mind.
Hope you were paid enough!
