I am in the process of convincing my wife I need to build the NE Dory. &nbsp;We used to live on the water in Annapolis but had to move to St. Louis. &nbsp;The only realistic way to keep sailing out here is in small boats. &nbsp;The Dory will fit 95% of our mission. &nbsp;One part of the mission is to teach my 5 year old daughter to sail. &nbsp;Now to my question about the sail rig. &nbsp;I would like to have both the balanced lug and the sloop rig. &nbsp;I like having a head sail and playing with sail trim. &nbsp;However, I think my daughter will pick up sailing faster with the balanced lug rig.

I noticed the mast rake is different for the different rigs. &nbsp;Has anyone successfully run both rigs? &nbsp;With minor modifications is it reasonably possible to run both?

Thanks for the help.

Nick

&nbsp; &nbsp;Go to the Northeaster Dory on this site and click on "sailing component kit-lug" where it says "view contents" &nbsp;The page that pops up has a link to "dory lug rig install guide" &nbsp;That will tell you everything you need to know about the lug sail on the Northeaster dory &nbsp;On the second page it will tell you that you can easily change between the lug rig and the sloop rig &nbsp;Here's a shortcut. &nbsp;http://www.clcboats.com/images/pdfs/CLC-Northeaster-Dory-Lug-Addendum-Web.pdf​

Thanks for pointing me to the right documents. &nbsp;Somehow I missed the links.
