		The junk's characteristic large rudder can be slid down to serve as a keelboard to limit leeway in deep water, or raised to let the flat-bottomed hull navigate the shallows or even to be drawn up on shore, sitting upright.
		Many junks have an arched framework at the front or rear of the poopdeck and another on the foredeck or maindeck which presumably is a rest for the battened sails when dropped.
		Junks have a web of lines leading to the batten ends and the masts, but these would get in the way of figure placement and should probably be omitted in a gaming model.
