Has anyone thought about designing the Death and Glory?
something the same size, but more manouverable, and able to carry more sail. I was perusing the thread about the swallow design, and I was thinking that the Death and Glory is probally the best described of all of the sailing dinghies in any of the Ransome books.
just a thought, maybe a bermuda rig, with a headsail out ahead, that has an interchangable small standing lug for tradition's sake. The bermuda rig for actual use, and the Standing lug for accuracy's sake.
Well, just thought that I'd throw this out there for all y'all to chew on.
I am really enjoying this board, and am pleased to find AR fans that border on fanaticism (;)) out there.
thanks
