Even if small pictures are ideal on the web, taking big ones and then reducing them in size can be very good indeed - most cameras have various picture size...
I take a lot of photos. I used to use film and then scan in the prints. Here is what I have found. Most monitors have a relative fixed pixel size... the...
Greetings all. I am starting to put together a PhD project proposal based on windward performance enhancements for the modern junk rig. I am trying to find...
... Mike, First thing you need to do is join the JRA (Junk Rig Association) and get all the back issues of the newsletter. That will bring you up to speed on...
I have an update about our mast re-finishing project, now that we are at a good point to stop and take a break. When Freedom built our masts they started with...
I thought I could attach files to a message going to the group, so I added a couple pictures to my last message. It seems that they were stripped, rather than...
... May I suggest to roll on some epoxy first, before putting the fiberglas hose over it? You'll get better bonding (my experiance). Of cause it is much more...

GIMP is the photo-editing software I mostly use, as it is easy to understand and totally free. Available for Mac. PC and Linux, to mention a few operating...
Thank you so much for you direction. I will be joining the JRA and contacting Slieve and Arne. I am planning on putting together my plan of study and seeing...
My previous attempt to post the link to get IRFANVIEW for managing photos did not go through properly. While Gimp is Great it is large and more suited for...
Hey Mike, From one PhD student to another: keep tabs on that committee, get everything in writing, keep up your momentum, and get it done as quickly as you...
Hi David Without in any way seeking to define your research,I wonder if you are missing the reason why some sailors choose the Chinese or junk rig. I don't...
Yes David, you are exactly right. I was interested in either a in-depth study of aerodynamics of the junk sail as a base for increasing windward performance,...
My reasons for using the rig are that it is safe, and easy to reef. I have just bought a new boat now, and have planed to convert to lug. It would be much...
I would say due to complexity, cost, poor windward, and lack of familiarity. On the marketing side, if you are looking for mass conversion, I would say that it...
Hi Mike. You can drop "poor windward". My old boat went just as well to windward with her cambered lug sail as with the original bermudasail. Bad windward...
Generally it is a Yahoo setting. Most group owners do not allow full HTML In posts for obvious hacking and scamming concerns. Usually the procedure is to log...
Hi Mike. I had a fully battened lugsail sewn flat, with slightly fanned battens. To obtain camber, I used hinges in the battens. One thing we have wanted to...
I agree with Arne. When I post photos to my web site, I usually reduce them to about 100 kb and they seem to be fine. I use Gimp (free download) and set the...
Good comments there Victor, maybe we should refer to it as a Chinese Lug rig or Battened Lug rig. Gary ... This email was sent from Netspace Webmail:...
... Complexity, compared to what? If you take a bare boat and put a rig on it, which will be the more complex and expensive? My money would be on the Bermudan...
Stavanger, Friday. Hi Gary There are many ways of and reasons for going sailing. Not everyone needs good performance close-hauled. However, my sailing has...
I was talking about converting to a Chinese lug rig from a boat that currently has a working Bermuda rig. Sorry I wasn't clear. I also was not stating these...
Again, I wasn't clear. I was still talking about converting from a Bermuda Rig to a Chinese Lug Rig. Most people in the world are unaware that there is such...
