Description

Welcome to the Junk Rig List. After searching for information on the internet pertaining to the Junk Rig, I've realized that there is not a lot of information out there. This list has been created to discuss the design building and sailing of the Chinese Junk Rig. List members will also be able to post relevant articles and pictures.

Note: The Files and Photos sections have been re-opened for new submissions. Yahoo! have increased the limits on Files and Photos so that we now have enough space to use them again. The overflow group, junkrig2, still exists. See Junkrig2.

The feature photo shows the front cover of the newly re-published "Practical Junk Rig" by Blondie Hasler and Jock McLeod. This seminal work on rigging western boats with Chinese junk rigged sails has been out of print for several years. It is now being published in the UK by Adlard Coles Nautical and in the US by Tiller Books.

Photo contributions of new or old junks are always welcome.

UV protection
Clear UV protection is an oxymoron.  Varnish protects the wood somewhat but is actually a sacrificial coating that is itself degraded by the UV radiation that
