Well, I don't know how well it'd work for a cruising boat, given that the spar across the top doesn't move up or down from what I can see. It also seems to add a fair bit of weight aloft compared to a standard bermudan rig and requires a free-standing mast. I'm wondering how well this thing would reef as well.
I can definitely see it having benefits, especially running downwind. Not so sure how well it'd perform close-hauled.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
