TheRig

It is not settled yet, while many elements of the design are clear to me -the rig is something I don't know too much about and don't have experience with many rigs, also needs to be pointed out now - I'm not an experienced sailor nor boat designer. I do know what I would want- that is a Cat rig with a gennaker, but the rig choice will be settled after more study and more advice from friends. My thoughs are: catrig is simple, few harware, easy to handle singlehanded except in strong winds, should be cheap as there is little hardware, just one sail. The cat rig should be more efficient upwind, but hard to reef downwind if the wind picks up fast. It is the most important part of the design and needs to be planned with extra care.
