I am not aware of any pre-nethercot ICs with jibless rigs.....but it is a development class and there may well of been a few.

There was a boat with a complete real built-up and skinned wing-sail. I would guess this didn't have any foresail....and would of had the mast set forwards and forwards chainplates also.

There are details of this in Andrew Eastwood's history of the IC

Just emailed him. Sounds interesting, very twitchy I should imagine! Though looking at the b class foil born cats, could be a way forward....
