The open compartment is watertight













After using the Chinese Tung oil



Used double polyester cotton


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



From one exit to twice exit


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
