My opinion is founded on considerable experience. What's the basis of yours?
"By the way, I don't know how much time you spent with lug rigged mono-hulls but they are not a good combo." -My rig was designed by Blondie Hasler, a founder of the single handed trans-Atlantic race. I sailed it from Seattle to: the Marquesas Islands, the Society Islands, both Samoas, Tonga, New Zealand, Fiji, Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Carolines, the Marianas, New Guinea, Palau, the Philippines, and Hong Kong. It worked great, much better than my Ericson 35 stock fin keel sloop, which I sailed from LA to Hawaii, Hawaii to Seattle, and Seattle to LA again.
-My current thinking is an evolution of that success to make it point higher-a fully battened wing sail.
