Anyone sailing with a #JunkRig or #SplitJunkRig sail? I am considering a project to upgrade my standing #lugsail to a split junk rig sail for my #DrascombeScaffie. Any thoughts? #junkrigassociation #amallcraftlife #drascombeassociation (at Perdido Key, Flordia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY8AJvdsowS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nice double ender with a lug sail. The world should have more of these little joys in life.

Picked up a project boat. A 1981 Drascombe Scaffie. A little worse for wear but the trailer, hull, mast, rudder and sail is sound. What more could you ask for. The seller had a beautiful Drascombe Lugger in his backyard next to a SeaPearl28 and several other project boats. Lucky Man. Both the buyer and seller. More to follow…

Lug rig of the day. Adding this same jib to my Drascombe Scaffie "Mon Nèg"

Check the Scaffie on the Old Gaffers Association website. OGA boat number 3600 - Scaffie “Mon Nèg”. Click on the OGA.ORG.UK link shown above.

S/V Mon Nèg’s red sail lashed on and ready to sail. It needs a third row of reefing points. Non of the grommets has rope marks on them. Still polished smooth as new. Sail was never used.

I sealed these side tanks to prevent water intrusion during a capsize. To ensure they were truly sealed I filled them with water and waited for a leak. No leak so I pumped them out. Also it gave them a good cleaning of all the debris from the rebuild.

I am removing the electric navigation lights and going back to oil lamps for the bow and the stern. We used these oil lamps on our Biloxi Schooner “Maple Leaf III” with great success. Our Drascombe Scaffie Mon Nèg will be low tech in this regard. Geek Tech can be low tech. My lovely bride and I were so happy to have found these while looking for a mast traveler and belaying pins.
