  • The Junk Rig Glossary (JRG) Version 20 APR 2016
    The Junk Rig Glossary (JRG) Version 20 APR 2016 Welcome to the Junk Rig Glossary! The Junk Rig Glossary (JRG) is a Member Project of the Junk Rig Association, initiated by Bruce Weller who, as a then new member, found that he needed a junk 'dictionary’. The aim is to create a comprehensive and fully inclusive glossary of all terms pertaining to junk rig, its implementation and characteristics. It is intended to benefit all who are interested in junk rig, its history and on-going development. A goal of the JRG Project is to encourage a standard vocabulary to assist clarity of expression and understanding. Thus, where competing terms are in common use, one has generally been selected as standard (please see Glossary Conventions: Standard Versus Non-Standard Terms, below) This is in no way intended to impugn non-standard terms or those who favour them. Standard usage is voluntary, and such designations are wide open to review and change. Where possible, terminology established by Hasler and McLeod in Practical Junk Rig has been preferred. Where innovators have developed a planform and associated rigging, their terminology for innovative features is preferred. Otherwise, standards are educed, insofar as possible, from common usage in other publications and online discussion. Your participation in JRG content is warmly welcomed. Comments, suggestions and/or corrections may be submitted to [email protected], or via related fora. Thank you for using this resource!

  • WB-Sails Optimist Trimguide
    The Definite Guide to Optimist Trim by Martin Gahmberg & the WB-Sails team The purpose of this tuning guide is to help you trim your WB sail optimally by learning the effects of the controls: How to change the shape and behaviour of the sail for different conditions. Remember that these are only guidelines - the winning setup usually comes from experimenting and changing the trim in the right direction, making the boat feel better. The paper is divided into 3 sections: 1) A short introduction of the trim controls 2) More about tuning the Optimist 3) A quick summary for different conditions If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Fig. Some pictures of our CFD-research showing the flow around an Optimist sail. © WB-Sails Ltd Oy Itälahdenkatu 22b C, 00210 Helsinki, Finland | tel +358 9 621 5055 | [email protected] A SHORT INTRODUCTION OF THE TRIM CONTROLS Mainsheet: This is the most important trim. Controls the twist and angle of the sail. Trim for speed or height. Adjust it constantly and if the boat feels bad or slows down for some reason, ease the sheet. Have a looser sheet in wavy or unstable wind condi- tions. Sprit: Controls the leech tension and depth. Have a loose sprit for an open and flatter sail in light and strong winds. And a tighter sprit for a closed deeper sail in medium winds. Small wrinkles perpendicular to the sprit is ok. In very heavy conditions have a big ugly wrinkle between the clew and throat. Vang: Mainly for the leech tension downwind.
