Tacking dipping lugsail, Beer lugger-style
Clew is hauled round luff by long sheet, led forward around sail & back to cleat, flipping yard across to lee side in process

Clever little boat! She is ideal for inland waters I should think; lots of room for her size - and I like the way she folds in half for transporting!

Tacking dipping lugsail No. 2
Slightly closer view. Note that there's a lot of rope to handle!

Yep. Except that you don't get the sail whipping across too quickly and making the boat roll violently. i.e. it's easier/safer than in a conventional gybe.

That's one of the main points, of course: you don't want your head knocked off by the boom during a tack or gybe while you're hauling nets or crab pots, so the dipping lug was favoured by fisherman in the days of working sail.
