Historic Junk. Last chance.
As boat builders this historic relic is of interest. I have posted a comment to the junkrig grouphttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/junkrig/message/19013where the articlehttp://beniciaherald.me/2012/04/24/improbable-journeys-led-chinese-junk-to-benicia/#comment-13310was posted.
The boat is leaving in days. If anyone can see it and document it in words and pictures, please do. Use your credibility as a builder of boats to get you permission.
I believe this particular junk has relevance to some of Phil Bolgers ideas of matching bottom and side curvature. I wonder if such traditional craft influenced his ideas and conclusions about side and bottom curvature.
