For those who are interested in the Fancy Free design from Glen-L, I built a modified version as a yawl with balanced lug sails and bilge keels rather than a centerboard. Somehow I can't add pictures to this response but if anyone is interested I will try to find a way to post pictures.
Josh Colvin just posted two pictures on the SCA site. You can see the yawl rig and the folding masts. Mizzen folds forward and main folds aft. I don't have good pictures of the bilge keels. Furling jib was on a 3/4" aluminum rod. Bilge keels were laminated 2x2 to a depth of 10 inches and extending 3.5 inches through the with hull and attached to the ribs. Ballast was in the form of 1.5" square steel tube filled with lead.

I would very much like to see pictures of the modifications you made. Vic Paz

a few sheets of 4x8 material top'd w/ a 3/4" thick of EXP foam makes a wonderful work surface on those height challenged sawhorses
Neat article!
