         Yes, a friend of mine got one a couple of years ago and was 
quickly amazed at how well it sails and how very practical, (I almost 
said foolproof) a rig it has. That does not however,IMHO, render 
stayed rigs 19th century, it just adds another option to the 
available ways to go sailing. I am a bit hooked up on wing masts 
myself.  Each to his own taste as the French put it.
