Kari-san was built by Lee Sandifur, a boat builder working for the designer, Sam Devlin. The original sprit rig required some one to stand to furl or reef the sails.
Because I’m in a wheelchair I could not handle the boat without help. I made a new boom and top spar and changed it to a lug rig with a single line reefing system.
The new rig allows all the sail handling from a seated position. It is a sweet sailing little boat.
