>The rig is a dipping lug sail as exactly shown in the books
I thought that the rigs in the books were all standing lugs?
I dont recall them lowering the sail to change tacks when against the wind, and I am almost positive that you have to lower sail to change tacks on a dipping lug.
correct me if I am wrong.
