JUNK RIGS REVISITED
Oh, I just love junk rigs. According to some website I visited, “junk” is actually an attempt at phonetic spelling of a Chinese word for boat.
The picture below is of a junk that was for sale, somewhere in Asia. The picture is no longer on the ‘Net, but I saved it because it’s so beautiful! The original site it came from was http://www.chinaseas.org/junkforsale/forsale1.gif. This website had no credits for the photography, so I don’t know who took the picture.

So if I said that boat looks pretty junky, what am I actually saying? “This book is junk.” Does that mean the book sucks or that the book can also be used to sail upon the world’s oceans? So confused…
haha, Daniel’s comment is funny. Interesting entry. that is one cool boat. The sails are pretty cool. I like it.
