  • Chapter 2 the Boat
    Chapter 2 (..of The Cambered Panel Junk Rig...) The Boat ..finding a suitable boat to buy, build or have built... It isn’t easy to give advice about finding the right boat. Take this with a small pinch of salt as it is rather a set of personal opinions. Most boats that perform well under a Bermudian or gaff rig will continue to do so with a junk rig. Finding a suitable boat for conversion to JR is thus both easy and tricky. In this context I am only talking about cruising boats so racing problems such as handicap issues can be ignored. To me there are three main classes of cruising boats; the ocean cruisers, the coastal cruisers and short distance sailers, i.e. day-sailers and weekenders. Boat Categories Last thing first, the Day-sailers and Weekenders: These boats frequently just sail from A to A and mainly in protected waters. Their owners generally have a job and need to get home in time. Speed, easy handling and manoeuvring will have a high priority. Offshore seaworthiness is not really relevant here. Directional stability and light helm is not so important since the sailing trips only last for a few hours anyway. Good oars or an outboard engine may be an idea to get you home. Many day-sailers and weekenders may have to answer to special needs such as shallow draft, easy trailing etc. Compromises... The Coastal Cruiser : The coastal cruiser has more in common with the ocean cruiser and sometimes must step into the role of both the day-sailer and the ocean cruisers.
