A short video explaining how a junk rigged sail looks on a 22 foot sloop net Lake Michigan. Sailing the Great Lakes can be challenging but this small boat is well equipped for it. The sail and rig were built by the boat’s owner and he built a cambered sail in which each panel of the sail is cut so as to provide an aerodynamically curved shape which is more efficient in the wind. The video shows the boat go through various manoeuvres.

Nice. The textual explanations were quite helpful. I learned from this. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. Do you have any information on the mast tabernacle?

Is there a significant difference in performance between the cambered junk rig and flat? If you had to quantify, would you say 10%, 20%?

@dustman96 Год назад

@@junkrigassociation Thank you for the thorough reply. JR seems like the perfect rig for cruising but the performance aspect has me a little hesitant to use it on my upcoming boat build. Have to keep reminding myself that speed isn't everything.

@junkrigassociation 9 месяцев назад

We are not sure whats happening, but yes our comments are sometimes deleted - hard to see how a sailing discussion would breach any standards but we will do some research

@junkrigassociation 9 месяцев назад

@@homie3461 thanks for that - it might explain the problem - I’ll try to avoid the word ju^k in replies and see if that sorts the problem!

@@junkrigassociation Good luck avoiding the word J*nk on a channel about junk rigs. Seems a little over the top if it is sensorship. Thanks again for your input. Your channel is great, always excited to see a new video pop up.

several questions: what did you use for a mast, where did you get it? is the sail area the same as the standard rig, or more, what percentage? and the tabernacle, would be great to see how you constructed it. Back in the 70s i sailed on several j'nks in San Fran, I've had 15 boats, but never fulfilled my desire to have j'nk rig. Presently looking for similar size boat to do just that. thanks take care

Hi. A slightly self-serving suggestion. You’ve so many questions and you are about to convert a boat so why not join the Junk Rig Association and use our forums to put your questions direct to the owner of this boat and many others who have done the same things. It’s less than $10 to join and you’ll have access to enormous amounts of information. In fact, so much that we have had to start developing our own indexing system for the more important stuff. Even without joining you can get a big amount of info from our website. And to be honest, we would love to hear from you about your junk rig experiences. If you sign up, email chair@junkrigassociation.org and we’ll bring you through some of the research tools. We notice from RU-vid that there’s a newly built junk rig scow currently in the SF area, but there’s also a junk in the maritime museum that we’d love to see.

For those with less experience of junk rigs, a nice place to start is the “Beginners Guide” at junkrigassociation.org/Resources/Documents/Arne%20Kverneland%27s%20files/Junk%20Rig%20for%20Beginners.pdf
