Ljungström rig
The family had been close to severe accidents with the traditionally rigged Ebella, nowadays named Beatrice Aurore, when in hard weather the crew had to walk on deck to take in sail.Ljungström, in order to not risk the safety of his crew, designed a boomless rig handled completely from the cockpit.Since the sail is hoisted throughout the season, it is appropriate that leach and foot consists of UV-resistant fabric that covers the entire mast in its furled state.On previous models the blocks sat on the deck aft area but later improved forwarding with a pole which raised the sheeting point about one meter.The real showpiece, however, is at full run where the two sails separate as butterfly wings, sheeted on each side, similar to a spinnaker, but with no extra booms or guys needed.
