Daria has asked me to think about contributing a paper under this heading. I think it would be better to get this written by a small team of Junkies, so I 've raised the topic on the JRA forum.

Meanwhile, here 's a paper written by one of our members, to get the subject under way:

This article is really interesting. I would welcome more exposure of the JR alternative within the OCC. For years and years I think the JR people have been regarded by the greater sailing community as a bunch of cranks and, in the leisure sector,the junk rig is still a tiny majority. With all its advantages why is it that it has not gained greater recognition? Is it because the major designers and mass production boat manufacturers have never looked seriously at it? What can be done to give it greater exposure and recognition?
