 Once I raised the new mast and hung the sail, I decided that I wanted to build an aft deck. According to what Ive read the traditional Junks had a raised aft deck for a couple of reasons,one being the fact that they act like a weather vane catching air and keeping you pointed into the wind, a nice thing if for what ever reason you lost power and also you can see everything from up there. I built it with a couple of feet overhang so with that and the bow sprit it now is 25 feet.
