    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!

  • Guide for Using a Swinging Mooring

    Guide for Using a Swinging Mooring

    Mooring Equipment A Conservancy maintained mooring consists of a heavy black iron chain riser, which is attached to a sinker or ground chain. The swivel allows the boat to swing freely at the mooring without twisting or snagging the mooring top chain and any ropes passed to the swivel. The length of the top chain is standardised to suit the average deck layout of a typical yacht using our moorings and is approximately 2.5m long. The length of top chain will not suit all deck arrangements and it may need to be adjusted to suit your individual requirement. It can be shortened by increasing the size of the end loop; or on rare occasions, lengthened by introducing an additional length to the chain. Considerations When Securing to a Buoy Moored boats behave in different ways; characteristics such as hull shape and draft will affect how a boat lies at the mooring during changes in the tide. Windage on spray hoods and canvas covers, will be affected by the strength of the wind and wind direction, which also plays a part in creating a unique swinging pattern and how the vessel lies with neighbouring boats. Minimising the swinging circle is an important consideration. The length of the mooring top chain between the deck fairlead and the buoy should be as short as possible. This also ensures that the weight of the boat is directly linked to the riser and limits the amount of snatch to the boat deck fittings. An excessively long top chain will also cause the buoy to rub alongside the hull of the boat and scuff the gel coat or varnish.
  • How the Beaufort Scale Affects Your Sail Plan

    How the Beaufort Scale Affects Your Sail Plan

    How the Beaufort scale affects your sail plan The Beaufort scale is a measurement that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea. Used in the sea area forecast it allows sailors to anticipate the condition that they are likely to face. Modern cruising yachts have become wider over the years to allow more room inside the boat when berthed. This offers the occupants a large living space but does have an effect on the handling of the boat. A wide beam, relatively short keel and rudder mean that if they have too much sail up they have a greater tendency to broach into the wind. Broaching, although dramatic for those onboard, is nothing more than the boat turning into the wind and is easy to rectify by carrying less sail. If the helm is struggling to keep the boat in a straight line then the boat has too much ‘weather helm’ i.e. the boat keeps turning into the wind- in this instance it is necessary to reduce sail. Racer/cruisers are often narrower than their cruising counter parts, with longer keels and rudders which mean they are less likely to broach, but often more difficult to sail with a small crew. Cruising yachts often have large overlapping jibs or genoas and relevantly small main sails. This allows the sail area to be reduced quickly and easily simply by furling away some head sail. The main sail is used to balance boat as the main drive comes from the head sail. Racer cruisers will often have smaller jibs and larger main sails, so reducing the sail area means reefing the main sail first and using the jib to balance the boat.

    Study Plans (Both Are Covered Here for Simplicity)

    Your ‘Slingshot 16’ and ‘Slingshot 19’ Trimaran Free Study Plans (Both are Covered Here For Simplicity) …from Designer / Builder / Sometimes Sailor Frank Smoot (AKA ‘Trimaran Frank’) About The Boats: The ‘Slingshot 16’ is a 1-2 seater trimaran, and the ‘Slingshot 19’ is a 2-3 seater trimaran. Both boats been developed to sail in perfect balance. With the 2-seater setup, but boat can remain in ideal helm balance whether soloing or carrying a passenger, thanks to a unique sliding seat arrangement. You can also rig them both with several very different kinds of sail rigs, and with either folding or fixed amas. NOTE: The Slingshot 19 plans include full details to build both the folding akas and 19’ amas. NOTE: The basic Slingshot 16 plans include construction details for the standard 14’ cruising amas and one-piece (non-folding) akas. Supplementary plans are also available that include full construction details for the larger 16’ performance amas and also for folding akas for the Slingshot 16. NOTE: Plans for the 2-seater version of the Slingshot 16 are not yet available, but are in the works. About the speed of these two trimarans: You may not want to go 14 mph, but it’s nice to know your boat can safely do that. (It could probably do more, but somehow that seems fast enough for me.) You can choose among 5 different sail rigs, either stayed or freestanding (unstayed). And you can initially build the Slingshot 19 with fixed akas, then later convert to folding akas (for easy trailering) if you wish.
  • Sailing Course Materials Overview

    Sailing Course Materials Overview

    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

    An Autonomous Wing-Sailed Catamaran Ph.D.Thesis by Gabriel H. Elkaim the Wingsail Wingsail Description Wing Versus Sail

    An Autonomous Wing-Sailed Catamaran Ph.D.Thesis by Gabriel H. Elkaim The following information has been extracted from the thesis submitted by Dr. Gabriel Elkaim to Stanford University, and for which he was awarded his Ph.D. The full thesis, which can be viewed at http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~elkaim/Documents/GabrielElkaimThesis01.pdf (and an extract published in the AYRS’s Journal ‘Catalyst’ which can be found at http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~elkaim/Documents/Catalyst_BoatArticle.pdf), describes the Atlantis project, whose aim was the design, development, and experimental testing of an autonomous wind- propelled marine craft. The parts printed here are the ones which may be of interest to members of the JRA These extracts are re-published from the AYRS Journal “Catalyst” by kind permission of Dr. Gabriel and of the Amateur Yacht Research Society. Please note that the figures are numbered as in the original document. The Wingsail The most visibly unique aspect of the Atlantis project is the wingsail propulsion system, as shown in Figure 5-1. The design considerations and goals are: equivalent performance to the original sail system, low actuation force, and the ability to precisely control the resulting system. A sloop rig sail can achieve a maximum lift coefficient of 0.8 if the jib and sail are perfectly trimmed. Realistically, an operating maximum lift coefficient is 0.6. The design goal of the Atlantis wing is to achieve a maximum lift coefficient of 1.8. Since this allows the wing to generate three times the force of an equivalently sized sail, the wing area is reduced to one third of the area of the original sails.

    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.
