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!

Armed Sloop Welcome Crew Training Manual
HMAS WELCOME ARMED SLOOP WELCOME CREW TRAINING MANUAL Discovery Center ~ Great Lakes 13268 S. West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him). -

The Boats of Swallows and Amazons
The Boats of Swallows and Amazons Amazon on Coniston Contents Introduction The Swallow Rowing the Swallow Rigging the Swallow A letter from Roger Fothergill, an owner of the original Swallow Unknown Details The Amazon Sailing Performance Assesements Design Recommendations for new Swallows The Nancy Blackett and the Goblin The Best Boat? Design Recommendations for new Swallows Introduction What exactly were the Swallow and the Amazon like, those famous sailboats of Arthur Ransome's books Swallows and Amazons and Swallowdale? Many readers would love to recreate the adventures of the Walker and Blackett children for themselves, or for their own children, and they want to learn more about the boats. The boats of these special stories were real boats, just as many of the locations in the stories are real places. This essay describes what we know of the Swallow and the Amazon. In the summer of 1928, Ernest Altounyan, a friend of Arthur Ransome, came to Coniston Water with his family and soon thereafter bought two boats for his children. The children were Taqui (age eleven), Susan (age nine), Titty (age eight), Roger (age six), and Bridgit (nearly three). The children became the models for characters in Arthur Ransome's books, and the boats became the Swallow and Amazon. Susan and Roger crewed the Swallow, while Taqui and Titty crewed the Mavis, which was the model for the Amazon. The Mavis (Amazon), may be seen today, in good order, at the Windermere Steamboat Museum near Lake Windermere. When the Altounyans later moved to Syria, they gave the Swallow to Arthur Ransome, who lived at Low Ludderburn near Lake Windermere. -

Chapter 7 Rigging the Sail

Sørensen, 0.74t, 20m2 Ingeborg, 2.15t, 35sqm In this chapter, I will mainly tell how I have rigged my own sails, but may also show alternative ways of doing it. Actually, I think it is a good idea to read this chapter before one settles on a rig type. No doubt, this text will have to be updated several times, as I receive more feedback. I will frequently use links to other write-ups I have produced, to describe details. Since all of these sit on the same website, they will stay operational for as long as this chapter does. If you are a serious doer, I guess it makes sense to download these texts and store them. One never knows when a website might fold... Aluminium mast cap (5mm thick) Webbing type mast cap for 10sqm sail on Broremann. Preparing the mast for first stepping. With the mast in hand, one needs some way of attaching the halyard etc. to the mast top. My preferred way has been to make some sort of mast cap of steel or (better) aluminium. For smaller rigs, I have just made it out of webbing and fixed it to the mast with a couple of hose clamps. In the latter case, one should add a fez-type cap to it, to protect the webbing from the sun. All my mast tops have been of wood. -
11 - Revival of a Lord of the Léman
11 - Revival of a Lord of the Léman In the very heart of the Alps there is a lake whose real name is Léman. In English it is often wrongly, given the name of the important town on its western tip and called the Lake of Geneva. This is the biggest lake in western Europe with it’s length of 72 Km, a surface area of 582 Km2 and no less than 167 km of shoreline. In spite of being isolated by its position from all maritime influence, over the ages this lake became an important inland waterway both for merchandise and personal transport. Early flat-bottomed boats with primitive square sails and no keel gave way with time to more sophisticated craft, built on a keel, rigged with lateen sails and displaying an undeniable similarity to vessels plying the Mediterranean. From the 13th century the House of Savoy had Galleys built. To this end they engaged specialists from the region of Genoa. In the 16th century carpenters from Nice were building vessels commonly called Barques. The distinguishing characteristic of the Léman Barques was that they were entirely decked over and that they carried their cargo on this deck. Their construction is based on a floor and frame method, just like big seagoing ships. Their relationship to the Mediterranean Galleys is undeniable; many of the technical terms of the Mediterranean boats are found in these Barques. In contrast to the early boats the Barques had fine lines, which allowed them to tack into a headwind. With few exceptions the Barques have two almost identical masts. -

With small crews, it will most difficult and demanding become necessary for everyone to know and tasks you will have in working work all of the lines anywhere on the ship. In with this program. any event, particularly if watches are being set, it becomes imperative that everyone have a good understanding of all lines and maneuvers the ship may be asked to perform. Safety Sailing the brigantines safely is our primary goal and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute has an enviable safety record. We should stress, however, that these ships are NOT rides at Disneyland. These are large and powerful sailing vessels and you can be injured, or even killed, if proper procedures are not followed in a safe, orderly, and controlled fashion. As a crewmember you have as much responsibility for the safe running of these vessels as any member of the crew, including the ship’s officers. 1. When laying aloft, crewmembers should always climb and descend on the weather side of the shrouds and the bowsprit.
