: For a tacking crab-claw rig, rather than shunting, set the foot of the mast
: much more forward. The toe of the sail is still ahead of the mast but it
: can be hauled back behind the mast so the sail switches sides of the mast.
: Similar to a dipping lug rig.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that good idea. I have my library locating a book for me about 100 riggings for small sail boats and I'll look for that kind of rigging. I have found two guys on the net that have made their own Crab-Craw sails and one weakness is the spars, or (boom and yard) breaking.
