Congratulations Doug it must have been a great feeling to be sailing after so much work getting there. Love your comment about the trolls. People that hide in the trenches and yell from there but never come out in the open. Capt Ian

Can you add a second yard to the top of the main to spread the load? One on each side.

Maybe I missed it, but what is stopping a really strong wind from knocking the boat over? Or would the wind required just be too great? I do remember the boat sits lower in the water so I am sure that helps stability.

That thing will never sail. So very heavy and a stupid rig. Power to weight. There's many reasons why nobody uses a junk rig. I'm not a troll just pointing out the obvious you can't yet see.

You can hack two attachment points on a yard with a line between them and a block on that line. This allows the point if the load to shift as the sail is raised. There is also the option for a second halyard of a second attachment point for tightening up the peek of the sail.

Haven't watched any of your videos in a little while. I was always wondering how in the hell the sails were supposed to work. I'm not a sailor, I've only spent time on a couple sail boats….. and didn't know what the hell was really happening there either…LOL. But it's interesting finally seeing how the junk sail setup works… or is in the process of working and being designed. BTW, congratulations on seeing Seeker move under wind power for the first time.

Christopher Havens was in prison near Seattle after being convicted of murder. To pass the time he discovered that he had a gift for math. After exhausting the prison library he reached out, ultimately to Umberto Cerruti a professor of Mathematics in Turin, Italy who took him under instruction to teach him higher math. To determine his level of understanding Prof. Cerruti sent him an unsolved equation. Using only pencil and paper he cracked an age-old math problem. The two of them published the solution in the journal 'Research in Number Theory'. Nobody told him it was unsolved so he did it his way and solved a problem classically trained mathematicians had been trying to solve for ages. Progress! CH now teaches his love of math to other inmates.

Having watched your channel since it was a pile of rusty metal sheets and an impressive vision, now I must say: This video is REALLY moving. No pun intended. What an achievement of truly epic proportions!
It's been incredibly satisfying to watch you build and even more so to see you sail now. I can't begin to imagine how satisfying this milestone is for you Doug and Betsy and everyone else who contributed to this outstanding project. Thank you SO much for sharing your journey, what an inspiration.
Fair winds and following seas!

PS. I really hope to see Bart sailing with you at some point!
