The huge kicker in some of these design choices comes down to racing rules , for most of us this was the IOR rule that encourages small mainsails as they were penalized by the rule and large over lapping genoas were not heavily penalized by the rule ( to keep it simple). As racing has unfortunately lost out to cruising ( nobody sells new racer/cruisers any more) we have gone back to more sensible size mainsails and much less overlapping Genoas ( or no genoas on some race boats). This is of course good for the cruiser as they no longer have to deal with those huge genoas and sail changes when the wind picked up. Overall I much prefer the smaller foresails and if the foretriangle is large enough boats can be designed with self-tacking jibs and easily reefed mainsail to simplify the shorthanded cruising lifestyle. Cheers Warren.

Very true! The self tacking staysail setup we have makes short tacking in a Harbor a breeze! Trying to monkey a huge lapped would be a nightmare. Being how racing trickles into cruising styles, I am excited for the day when cruisers have hydrofoils and ride above the waves. I know this sounds far fetched, but in the time of wooden full keels, it was insanity to propose that families would cruise on plastic fin keel boats with roller furling and electric charts!

Excellent description! Another small note of the difference between a cutter rig vrs a sloop rig is that “most” cutter rigs the mast is shorter. Cutter rigs having two front sails allows as much overall sail area like a sloop but because the mast is shorter, this helps a little with how much the boat will heal over making for a much more comfortable ride especially during long crossings

5:04 This is why we invented the Vang/Kicking strap. And the flexible rig. I've sailed sloops pretty much all my life but my dad has had a cutter for the last couple of years. Not a fan. Feels heavier and doesn't point. Pretty well balanced on the helm upwind though in a blow. I did broach in his last sloop in a storm. Helm completely ignored me and we fired up to windward and broached. Too much cloth up in the main but it happened so quickly. We'd already reefed the jenny. Luv and Peace.

"Gentlemen never go to windward." And as a cruising sailor, a traditional cutter-rig remains ideal for so many reasons. You can keep your big lapping genoas and rail riding. When it begins to blow, I shorten sail and go below.

I used to be a teacher, but more importantly I'm a nerd who loves to drill into a new topic, breaking it down and learning it. First I learned about sailing so I could better appreciate the Patrick O'Brian Jack Aubrey novels (Listening to them while building and paddling sea kayaks. Unless I'm a mile off the coast I don't feel I've paddled. The question I can't really answer yet is So what took you so long???) Now I want to sail. I have a plan over the next year or two learn how to sail, get good at it, get a boat and go sailing. I may start with a Catalina 22, but I will end up cruising the world - maybe not all of it. So I watch sailing videos and note things like, "but I didn't attach a preventer." So I look up preventer. (Google is great, I've learned new terms in the past that took me years to find a source of information.) So these videos are great. The physics I have down. My head was once awash in cables, sheets, chains, stays.... And then I learned what they do. It's a system, not 500 different things. So systems: maybe pause and go through the parts of systems. Your model. At some point maybe get some color string, also lower your exposure slightly and put a side, or a side back light, (If your bow was pointed north than these lights would be pointed from NWN) pointed at the model, now the background will no longer have any pure white in it, and the color strings will light up and stand out.

You only mentioned center of effort once. Good explanation on cutter vs sloop. Lots of variables that go into sailboat design and performance. Deciding what you need is what really counts if your building a new boat. What is available for sale is what you get in a used boat. You might want to mention why we went to triangular sails from the old square riggers.

Ya the colloquial definition of cutter being a mast aft sloop with an inner forestay and staysail is not technically correct. But it is more sensible, as one can readily see the difference between the colloquial sloop vs the colloquial cutter. Picking out if the rig is aft or forward of station 4 is not readily apparent. (And the station locations, 0 to 10 are defined from the forward and aft perpendiculars which is not necessarily the same as 40 pct aft of the bow, so the distinction between cutter and sloop becomes less clear just from visual observation, especially in boats with large overhangs). As a naval architect, I prefer the colloquial definition instead of the historical definition as it is more descriptive of the rig, ie inner forestay with staysail vs one forestay or headstay. As far as sloop vs cutter upwind, the current highest breed of racing monohulls have the mast well aft (ie volvo 70s, TP52s, etc.) because this yields more rig configurations, and it is faster overall if you don't have to accommodate a rating rule. And they go upwing like crazy. So the generalizations of mast fwd is better for upwind aren't really true.
@RiggingDoctor
@RiggingDoctor 5 лет назад
I was going to mention the VOR but decided not to in an attempt to keep it simple. They are “beyond cutter” with three headsails plus whatever they fly on the bowsprit. Those boats are machines with their rectangular main and staysail Genoas giving them all the performance available! I really do enjoy seeing where the boundaries of material science allow these ocean speed racers to go 😁

Herbie, two related subjects i'd really like to know about: 1. the pros and cons of fractional vs mast head rigs? Inc. 9/10th and other fractions. 2. how do you determine the tension to set your back stay for various conditions?
@RiggingDoctor
@RiggingDoctor 5 лет назад
Will do on the fractional rig setups! 2. Going upwind, you want to tighten your backstay to reduce headstay sag. Also, when the wind picks up, a tighter backstay will flatten the mainsail and depower it. Going downwind, you want to loosen the backstay to add headstay sag, allowing the luff of the headsail to billow out and generate a lot more power. This will also straighten the mast and give it more belly. The deeper chord will give it a lot more power in the light conditions. Basically: windy or going upwind: tighten the backstay. Light air or going downwind: loosen the backstay.

Basic rule of thumb, without getting too.much into the details: - Tension up the backstay to rake or curve the mast a bit aft as you sail upwind. - Slack the backstay to straighten the mast as you sail downwind

My sloop's mast is behind the 40% line (it's at 43). But at the same time the main has a high aspect ratio (3.7 to 3.8:1), which means its center of effort is not too far aft. I'm not sure we'll find a definition that is rigorous.

Awesomely explained! Love visual explanations Thank you. Can you please explain how an oversized Genoa on a sloop rig effects tacking efficiency ? Is it more difficult to tack ? Thanks again
@RiggingDoctor
@RiggingDoctor 4 года назад
Whenever the headsail overlaps beyond the mast, tacking becomes a bit harder because the clew needs to drag past the front of the mast and can potentially foul on more points. The larger the sail, the harder the tack; a 180% will be much harder to tack than a 110%. The tack also takes longer because the sail needs to fully sweep across the mast before it can be sheeted in. If it gets fouled on anything during the tack, now it needs to be freed. A non-overlapping headsail (anything that is 95% or less) will tack faster because it is entirely ahead of the mast. Tacks only involve it moving over quickly with no added stress or issues.

@cnicus 5 лет назад
The 40-50% you mentioned, does that relate to the deck or the waterline. Because of it's attachments you would think the former but the sail power reacts to the hull and the bow shape (overhang) so it might be the latter. Just wondering.

Good videos. I know it was a long time ago but I know you just now and with basi in things that I learn with you I can hipotase that a cat kencth can go up wind steal bester than a sloop? What do you think? (sorry by the Inglish, I am in a vaporetto on Venice)

So a boomkin should reduce the back stay tension. BTW, I call a boat with a mast placement less than 40% a double head sail sloop.

I thought this was going to be about "do you need 2 headsails or 1 (i.e. the tittle) rather than about the difference between cutter and sloop...... Thanks for the videos

From what I understand about a cutter sailing to windward, you can have a much flatter cut to your inner fore sail. The flatter sail will give you a much better performance. And because the forestay is lower on the mast, it essentially becomes a factional rig. This will give better performance in strong wind.

Yes, and this is what we have as our staysail :)

That's what I thought as well. When the wind picks up, the main is reefed, the jib is furled and you are left with a nice flat yankee which should have reasonable windward performance.

What if you have a secondary backstay on a ketch that can be used up wind? Something to use on a long headwind hall. Maybe running a removable backstay to the backstay of the mizzen, or to the top of the mizzen mast.

It would be very cumbersome with the mizzen boom and probably would not be that worthwhile
