A junk is a flat-bottomed ship. Typical: Sometimes there are holes in the rudder and the fore and aft masts are slanted and there is also a watertight hold from the center. It is said that some could sail against the wind and they were mainly practical ships

The open compartment  is watertight

After using the Chinese Tung oil

I have adjusted the thickness of the wire at the top (val).

Narrow parrels for autonomous sailing and jibing and no sheets on board.
Control from the side with two lines connected to the

rudder blade with exit at the front of the Junk

This is a control system for kite flying, I'm going to use it

to control the junk with two lines one for port and one for

starboard control. I hope it works

Sometimes you have to change things

The Junk is now ready for launch, there were some difficult moments but the fun of building prevailed. I hope it inspires people to build a Junk, I think they are beautiful ships

Use of the hiking trailer I drive the Junk

on the trailer in and out of the water

Another sailing test is on hold The bullet

is for the waterline correction and for the ballast,

the keel is only for occasionally sailing the Junk

in front of our house
