Dandy Jigger

By Dan Beard
The Dandy Jigger, or Mizzen Rig, is named after the small sail aft, near the rudder-head. This jigger, mizzen, or dandy may have a boom, a sprit, or be rigged as a lug.
(See Figs. 146 147, 149, 150, 151, 152, 154, 156, and 160, which show the principal mizzen rigs in use).
In puffy wind and in lumpy water the main and mizzen rig will be found to work well. The little sail aft should be trimmed as flat as possible. It will be found of great help in beating to the windward, and will keep the nose of the boat facing the wind when the mainsail is down. |
