| Comments |
Lug sail, normally vertically cut with one row of reef points, head and foot edge are attached to spars with boltrope into a groove or grommets and lacing. This was the first Eastport Pram rig, the second has a modified rig with completely different dimensions and battens added to the lug and is typically done as a crosscut sail. |
