  2. Sail plan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_plan

    A sail plan is a drawing of a sailing craft, viewed from the side, depicting its sails, the spars that carry them and some of the rigging that supports the rig. [1] By extension, "sail plan" describes the arrangement of sails on a craft. [2] [3] A sailing craft may be waterborne (a ship or boat), an iceboat, or a sail-powered land vehicle.

  3. C&C 61 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C&C_61

    The preliminary lines, sail plan, and accommodation drawings were completed in 1968 (Dwgs. #68-7-1P, -2P, -3P, -4P). In a letter from George Cuthbertson to Dariend Murray, publisher of The Dinghy, a magazine from Venice, California, on the development of the first C&C 61, and Cuthbertson commented, in part:

  4. Rig (sailing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rig_(sailing)

    Sail plan of a sloop. Each rig may be described with a sail plan—a drawing of a vessel, viewed from the side, depicting its sails, the spars that carry them and some of the rigging that supports the rig. [4] By extension, "sail plan" describes the arrangement of sails on a vessel.

  5. Forces on sails - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_on_sails

    Filled with wind, the sail has a roughly spherical polygon shape and if the shape is stable, then the location of centre of effort is stable. On sailing craft with multiple sails, the position of centre of effort varies with the sail plan. Sail trim or airfoil profile, boat trim and point of sail also affect CE.

  6. B&R 23 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B&R_23

    This led them to taking part in the design of a new boat, the B&R 23. Bergström designed the hull and sail plan at his design office in Sarasota Florida, resulting in a computer printed line drawing, a design technique that was not common practice in those early days of computer-aided design. Ridder focused on the design of the hydrodynamic ...

  7. Tancook schooner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tancook_Schooner

    The Tancook schooner, with its counter stern and characteristic round, or "spoon", bow was a distinctive type of small sailing work boat built primarily on Big Tancook Island, Nova Scotia, and the immediate surrounding area on and near Mahone Bay. The design succeeded the earlier double-ended Tancook whaler fishing boats.

  8. Full-rigged ship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-rigged_ship

    A full-rigged ship or fully rigged ship is a sailing vessel with a sail plan of three or more masts, all of them square-rigged. [1] Such a vessel is said to have a ship rig or be ship-rigged , with each mast stepped in three segments: lower, top, and topgallant.

  9. Sunfish (sailboat) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunfish_(sailboat)

    The high aspect ratio sail plan has better upwind performance characteristics over the lateen sail, changing the boat's handling to point more like other Bermuda rig sailboats in its size. With this configuration, complexity of sail control is elevated by the addition of dynamic outhaul, downhaul, and mainsheet traveller lines.
