I remove every page eksept your choosen frontpage.
Thank you.Nopw I just downloaded.I downloaded too. All of it.Seems to be a good link, and I sat looking at boats a long time last time.2014-06-05 11:38 GMT+02:00a-kve2@...[bolger]<bolger@yahoogroups.com>:Hi again.
Now I used a tool (Google URL-shortener) to shorten the link to that «Poor Man’s Ljungstrøm Rig» PDF file. I hope that it will work; I have never tried it before.

I've noticed similar behavior with Hotmail also. Links won't work and photos won't show until I go to reply or forward.

This is even more strange. When I went to reply it now showed the link as a blue hyperlink that I could click on without copying and pasting, but only on the reply page, not in my email. Yahoo has been messed up. Anyway, clicked on that and it brought me to your site.
That is an interesting sail with full length battens running more or less parallel to the mast. No shrouds or stays or boom would make it quick to set up. If I ever get down with my house work this summer, between the rain, I will have to look into this further.
Always nice to take a look at something different:)

Funny that ( if you are referring to the link I showed you). I have an ordinary Windows 7 pc, and the link forks for me. The file is a PDF-file.
What pc are you using?

PS: Maybe you could copy my whole message to your pc and se if the link can be made to work from there.
That is one long link, but I copied and pasted it and it did not work! Got an error page.

Hi there,
Fitting a little rig to that dory sounds like a good idea, but I too would have considered fitting a single outrigger.
I once made a super-simple aux. sail for a 15ft row-boat. If you open the link below and scroll to p.6-7, you'll see what I mean. The position and rake of the mast was adjusted until the boat steered with just an oar. Besides being a very close-winded rig, it also appeared to heel the boat over less than other rigs I had tried before (Bermuda, sprit, gaff).
Have a look:
Good luck!

Of course, this thinking and doing was established in the age of dory-fishing, usually with two fishermen aboard, and typically on heavier more burdensome working dories.
How exactly the ergonomics would work out on the Long Light Dory might well depend upon whether she’d be sailed solo or ‘with crew’.
Initial driveway-testing should help settle that question, with a subsequent sail to confirm or .. well...

The Long Dory has a skeg.

Dory: auxiliary sail?
Without a skeg or something below, it would invite broaching in a following sea. I'd leave well enough alone. If you want to do it, who is to stop you?

Oughtred and Gartside have added small sails to boats which are primarily rowing boats and I know of a couple of people who cruise in rowing boats and use a small sail for going down wind. Given that rowing boats tend to have minimal power to carry sail (which is a nice wat of saying that they have very little initial stability) and given that sailing down wind can lead to a rhythmic roll, I would be inclined to go with a small balanced lug sail which is “self vanging “ and gybes very gently.
Have fun.

Light Dory: auxiliary sail?
I was looking at Payson's chapter in BTNIB on the stretched light dory, and was wondering about whether a small auxiliary sprit sail would be do-able. I know what Bolger thought about trying to sail one of these, so I want to make it clear that I'm not thinking in terms of making the dory into a sailboat! I'm just talking about a small (say, 50 square feet or less), sprit or other sail, combined with a steering oar, for use in when there's a nice following wind. It seems to me that a boat that rows as well as one of these stretched dories seems to, would be better off only using a sail off the wind anyway. Of course, in the U.S. , this leads to title and registration requirements in just about any state.
So: no center, dagger, lee or any other board. No rudder. Just a little simple rig for downwind. For upwind, one would probably make better progress by rowing while the small sailboats are tacking. Kayaks sometimes use small sails downwind.
What do you think?
