Here is a photo from a recent trip to the Town of 1770, in Queensland, Australia. The boat is my 42 year-old cruising dinghy, designed and built by my father. Construction is plywood batten-seam, 15 2-1/2" x 5 11". Originally rigged as a Bermudan Sloop, her current rig (one of many) is a free-standing balance lugsail of 115 sq.ft.
