  • 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!

Edition number of Signed by Richard Bennett Date RICHARD BENNETT OAM 1 PROLOGUE People often tell me how lucky I am to have made a living doing something I love so much. I agree with them. I do love my work. But neither my profession, nor my career, has anything to do with luck. My life, and my mindset, changed forever the day, as a boy, I was taken out to Hartz Mountain. From the summit, I saw a magical landscape that most Tasmanians didn’t know existed. For me, that moment started an obsession with wild places, and a desire to capture the drama they evoke on film. To the west, the magnificent jagged silhouette of Federation Peak dominated the skyline, and to the south, Precipitous Bluff rose sheer for 4000 feet out of the valley. Beyond that lay the south-west coast. I started bushwalking regularly after that, and bought my first camera. In 1965, I attended mountaineering school at Mount Cook on the Tasman Glacier, and in 1969, I was selected to travel to Peru as a member of Australia’s first Andean Expedition. The hardships and successes of the Andean Expedition taught me that I could achieve anything that I wanted.

  • Taming the Kite!
    Taming the Kite! What goes wrong? Wineglass when launching – can happen in light or heavy weather Broaching on a reach – usually in heavy weather Death rolls – usually in heavy weather Gybing disasters – worse in heavy weather Wineglasses. Wineglasses occur when the top half of the kite fills before the bottom with a twist in the middle. Avoiding: Making sure the kite is not twisted before it is launched is a good start. Wineglasses can normally be avoided by getting the kite halyard up ASAP and opening the kite from the bottom by bringing pole back and then sheeting on as it goes up. Timing of sheet is important as filling the kite before it is fully up makes it difficult to get to the top! It is generally faster to pull the halyard from the mast rather than in the cockpit. If the kite is launched from a bag on the bow it is important to get the clews out and separated earlier. If the halyard is well on the way up before the clews are out of the bag then a wineglass is more likely to result. Fixing: If a wineglass occurs it can usually be fixed by the foreward hand pulling very hard down on the pole end luff from the bow (hanging their weight on it), at the same time easing the sheet a little. Letting a metre or so of halyard out sometimes helps as well (no idea why!!) In lighter winds the foreward hand can sometimes untwist the kite from the bow. If all else fails it will need to be partly dropped and re-launched.

  • Reefing Systems
    GP14 REEFING SYSTEMS Oliver L. Shaw Major Revision, 21st January 2019 Minor Further Revisions 28 th September 2019 and 6 th March 2020 This paper describes simple and practical ways to reef the genoa and mainsail on a GP14 dinghy. With the systems described the boat can be reefed whilst at sea, and these systems represent a practical way to extend your safe and enjoyable sailing over a wider range of wind and weather conditions. In stronger winds, or with young children or lighter or less able crews, use appropriately sized sails for the circumstances (especially foresail). In that context, note that a cleated genoa, caught aback by a sudden vicious windshift, on its own (even with the main fully released) is large enough to capsize a GP14 in a stiff breeze if the crew is not quick enough to release it; it has happened to me!! Note that specified sail sizes are maxima, and there is no minimum. When the boat was originally designed the normal sail material was cotton, which was more porous to wind than modern synthetics, the jib was small, and the mainsail shape was less powerful than now. Modern synthetic fibre sails are significantly more powerful. Remember that the standard jib is still available at its original size and is a practical and useful alternative to the current genoa. Historically the original design envisaged the boat as a “Family Fourteen”, typically being sailed by parents plus two children. A comparatively modest headsail was specified (a sail that we now know as the standard jib) in deference to the perceived limited strength and to the perceived anxieties of “Mum”.
