Sliding Gunter
|
| By Dan Beard
Another safe rig, differing little from the leg-of-mutton, is the Sliding Gunter. In this rig the sail is faced to a yard which slides up or down the mast by means of two iron hooks or travelers (Fig. 139). No sail with a narrow-pointed top is very serviceable before the wind, and the sliding gimlet is no exception to the rule. But it is useful on the wind, and can be reefed easily and quickly, qualities which make it many friends. |
