Jib aerodyamics

edit

The first sentence under "Modern Yachts and Small Craft" is dubious and confusing. A typical sloop will generate roughly 25% of its driving force (this varies widely), so I suppose that's a "minor" contribution, but not insignificant. And of course a boat can be sailed on jib alone, making it the total contribution to driving force. The second sentence is crap. As an airfoil, it generates lift, contradicting the first sentence. Also, all sails are airfoils. Its simply not true that its main contribution is to force laminar flow ("reduce turbulence"). What it does is force attached flow, and change the dynamic pressure and angle of attack of the main sail, in the same manner as a slotted aircraft flap. Additionally a jib is used to balance the yawing moment of the sail plan, reducing the rudder input required to steer a course, and thus reducing drag. Knag (talk) 17:15, 7 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Cutter rig

edit

the text defines a cutter rig as two headsails (staysail and jib). In common usage people do call double headsail rigs cutters, however this is not always the case: see Friendship_sloop. There is some ambiguity here. I always thought the cutter rig was defined by the mast placement (50% aft of the forward-most point for a cutter, more like 70% for a sloop), but again there is no clear demarcation.

Modern yachts and small craft - jib/genoa comparison image

edit

The image comparing a jib and genoa describes the genoa as 150% in its caption but this image also appears on the genoa page and calls it a 110% genoa. I am not certain which one is correct.

I think we should just remove the percentage. It doesn't mean much anyway, and 150 is probably wrong, IMO. Cumulus (talk) 11:52, 11 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

function

edit

The article doesn't explain the function of the jib, nor is there any explanation at Staysail.--207.233.85.155 (talk) 21:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wrong russian translation

edit

The correct one should be https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80 and the pointed to should probably be linked with Foresail Qrilka (talk) 15:39, 9 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Jib vs Staysail

– I am not convinced this is the primary topic when Jib (camera) also has decent popularity and is equally as esoteric. I think there is WP:NOPRIMARY and the disambiguation page should be in the main namespace. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:16, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Preventing Jib Halyard wrapping

edit

How do I prevent the Jib Halyard from wrapping around the jib when furling and unfurling the Jib? 64.222.128.3 (talk) 08:37, 1 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
