    That dipping lug has some lovely curves; looks pretty close winded in the first shot. Did you get to see them tack it?

    Saves a bit of work lugging the sail around.

    A couple of those pics look like it’s on port tack, with the sail aback. A real drive killer. But they’ve got the standing lug mizzen set, so it doesn’t matter as much. Thanks for the link. I think this is the rig Phil Bolger used on his Resolution.
