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.

Re: junk rig as supplemental power on production powerboat? Hi Michael ... I like this idea. A square sail built like a junk sail. You should build a model of it to test how it is to reef. May be you will get a lower Posted - Thu May 24, 2012 8:12 am	Victor vicwin2009... Offline Send Email
Re: junk rig as supplemental power on production powerboat? It seems like the junk rig would be easier to handle and particularly easier to reef in a hurry? If you had more of a square junk rigged sail, more like a Posted - Wed May 23, 2012 5:51 pm	Michael johnsonmike21 Offline Send Email
