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!

The Sharpie –A Personal View 2009
The Sharpie –A Personal View 2009 THE SHARPIE - A PERSONAL VIEW BY MIKE WALLER This article was originally published in Australian Amateur Boat Builder Magazine * * * * * To say that all flat bottomed boats are Sharpies is to say that all animals with four legs are horses. The statement simply does not hold water. It is true that most sharpies have flat bottoms, but the Sharpie is a unique design style which evolved over a specific period of history to fill a particular need, and to which certain well defined rules of design apply. The initial statement also denies the individuality of a multitude of other distinct hull ‘types’ such as the many and varied dory hull forms, skiffs, punts and hunting boats, and ‘near flat bottomed’ boats such as skipjacks, (not all Sharpies have absolutely flat bottoms, for that matter,) which developed in tandem with the Sharpie. A common misconception is that the Sharpie originated in Europe. It is true that many flat bottomed boats have existed in Europe over the years, notably the ‘Metre Sharpies’, but to say that the Sharpie evolved in Europe would make such great figures as Howard Chapelle, the well known maritime historian, turn in his grave. While there will always be differing opinions, the accepted history of the traditional Sharpie as we know it, is that it evolved on the eastern seaboard of the United States of America in the Oyster fisheries of Connecticut. It is largely down to the efforts of Howard Chapelle, who spent a lifetime documenting the development of the simple working boats of the United States, that we can credit most of our current knowledge of the rules and characteristics which define the traditional Sharpie as a distinct vessel style. -
SHALLOW BOATS; DEEP ADVENTURES! Since 1984
Since 1984 SHALLOW BOATS; DEEP ADVENTURES! 1 SHOAL DRAFT STABILITY, SIMPLICITY, SPEED AND SAFETY. I’m here to talk about a belief in and a passion for shoal-draft boats, particularly the development of the Round Bottomed Sharpie. I started sailing in centreboard dinghies and that excitement has returned with these boats. As you’ll see these 2 boats have become known as Presto Boats. NEW HAVEN OYSTER- TONGING SHARPIE By definition a Sharpie is a flat-bottomed boat and a New Haven oyster-tonging sharpie looked like this. They were easy to build with their box shape & simple rigs but the boat is an ingenious piece of function and efficiency. The stern is round so the tongs don’t snag on transom corners; the freeboard is low so it’s easy to swing the tongs on board and the long centreboard trunk stops the oysters from shifting SEA OF ABACO 3 under sail. NEW HAVEN SHARPIE RIG The unstayed masts rotate through 360 degrees so the oystermen would sail to windward of the oyster beds and let the sails stream out over the bow while drifting over the beds tonging away. The sails are self-tending and self-vanged so handling is very easy. The boats are fast when loaded so you can get the oysters fresh to market. Oyster bars in big cities were the Starbucks of the late 1800s. You’d pop in for a ½ dozen as a pick-me-up. 4 On the right is an Outward Bound 30 to our design. With our contemporary Sharpies we’ve retained the principles of the traditional rig; it works as well today as it did in the 1800s. -
Development of Lightweight Sharpies in NSW 1975 to 1985
Development of Lightweight Sharpies in NSW 1975 to 1985 By Rolf Lunsmann, May 2007 The ten year period from 1975 to 1985 saw rapid and dramatic technological development in the Sharpie class. Known in 1975 as the Australian Lightweight Sharpie and firmly established as one of Australia’s most prominent and popular restricted development classes, the boats changed over that period from being exclusively plywood hulls with soft rigs to largely a fleet of full composite construction hulls with high tension, fully adjustable rigs, very similar to the boats that we see sailing today. The many individual changes and developments that led to the transformation came from the strong, competitive fleets that were sailed in all the States and Territories of Australia. Many significant developments were Crescendo VII (N35) winning the Nationals for NSW for the generated in South Australia where Robin first time in 1966 in the hands of Robert Thompson, Ian Haselgrove, the most prolific boatbuilder in the Peden and Chris Buckingham. (Photo uncredited) class, worked with the local fleet on the progressive development of glass hulled timber decked boats and in Tasmania where many of new rigging control systems emerged, but it was New South Wales that first saw much of the innovation and many of the breakthroughs in hull and spar development. The article attempts to chronicle some of those developments. The predominant thinking among top Sharpie sailors in NSW in the mid 1970s was heavily influenced by the success Mark Peelgrane had achieved in winning three consecutive National Championships between 1971 and 1973. Peelgrane had sailed a plywood boat Eleanor Rigby (N35). -

Mid Year Newsletter August 2017 Australia Day Weekend January 2018
Mid Year Newsletter August 2017 The Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta The Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta is about displaying classic wooden sailing dinghies both on and off the water, many of which were once common but are now becoming rare. By focusing on the beauty of the wood crafting, rigging and history of these boats it is hoped people will appreciate them more fully and participate in their restoration and conservation. Over the Australia Day Weekend the Regatta also highlights aspects of Inverloch’s unique seaside history. And Moth 90th Celebration - Cavalcade of Moths In 1928 Len Morris launched Olive, a single sail 11 foot long dinghy, which became the Inverloch 11 footer, then the Moth and eventually the International Moth. In 2018 Inverloch will be celebrating the 90 anniversary of the Moth and also the contribution Len Morris made to sailing. This occasion is relevant to relevant to all Moths, their owners their skippers so we welcome all makes, types regardless of the method of construction and materials to participate in the Australia Day Regatta weekend. Australia Day Weekend January 2018 Friday 26th, Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th South Gippsland Yacht Club Commodore The Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta at Inverloch is on again in 2018. This year it will be held over the three days of the Australia Day long weekend and if it follows the trend so far, we are expecting it to be the biggest event yet. South Gippsland Yacht Club is proud of the Regatta which has developed from an idea by club members Andrew and Marion Chapman and Wayne Smith just a few years ago, into the internationally known event of today. -

Transcur Forestay in This Issue
East Coast Old Gaffers Association Newsletter Aug ‘09 August 2009 Issue 80 Transcur Many readers will have heard that Transcur, area president Peter Thomas’s lovely smack, sank at her moorings on the Orwell sometime over the weekend 11th/12th July. Transcur was built in Brightlingsea in 889 and was comprehensively rebuilt by Peter over a number of years. The good news is that Transcur was quickly raised by a professional salvage team, then taken ashore at Pin Mill where a vast band of helpers, including many Dutch visitors, set to and stripped out and cleaned the interior. Miraculously, the engine restarted, but there is still an enormous amount of work to be done. However, Peter is confident she will be performing as usual in the August Classics Cruise. Transcur is probably most famous for her appearance in Frank Mulville’s book ‘Terschelling Sands’, where she was very nearly lost off the Dutch coast as a result of a navigational error. It is ironic that after 20 active years, she should succumb to something as mundane as a defective skin fitting. Forestay The sailing events so far this year have been well supported, with a number of new boats making their appearance. New faces are always welcome, but the arrival of new boats can sometimes Transcur make your committee scratch its collective head and spend time exploring the very ethos of the Old Gaffer movement. In this Issue Let me explain; the OGA was formed to ‘encourage interest in traditional gaff rig’ and to organise races for gaff rigged boats. -
Origin and Rebirth of “BABE”, an S&S 30 Daysailer
Origin and Rebirth of “BABE”, an S&S 30 Daysailer Excerpts by Danielle Abbott, S&S Naval Architect and Glenn Walters, Managing Partner, Bluenose Yachts Before his death at age 100, the co-founder of Sparkman & Stephens chose a 1935 sloop—one of the smallest of S&S’s many ocean racer/cruiser designs—as the yacht he most wanted to update. In 1935 Olin Stephens, the design half of a Manhattan design-and brokerage firm started by Stephens and yacht broker Drake Sparkman six years earlier, drew up plans for a custom 30' 6" (9.3m) ocean racer for the Miami–Nassau and St. Petersburg–Havana races. Named Babe, she was a forward-thinking boat for the time, with short overhangs and light displacement, just barely meeting the requirements of the Southern Ocean Racing Conference. Accommodations were secondary: a simple galley, portable toilet between berths, and a single pipe berth forward. Her large sail plan had a high- aspect ratio for that period, and the boomkin made an extra-long boom possible without a lengthy stern overhang. Listed by S&S as Design No. 97, Babe embodied trends that would later drive modern cruising and racing yachts. Her length overall was the minimum allowed for the ocean races in which she was to participate, making her an agile and responsive racer. To compensate for the lower stability of a small boat, the beam was made “almost one-third of her waterline length,” wrote Stephens (in his book Lines, mentioned below) “more than most larger boats” of the pre-WWII era. -
