#3193: Sailing Rigs

[The comic shows five rows of silhouettes of different sail boats as seen from the side. In total 18 different boats are shown, three rows with four each and three in each of the two bottom rows. Each boat has a different sailing rig. All boats are oriented to the left of the comic, and beneath each boat there is a label. At the top of the panel there is a large heading:]

Common Sailing Rigs

[Here follows a list of the 18 boats with a description and then their label:]

[A single triangular sail.]

Lateen

[A front and rear triangular sail share a mast.]

Bermuda rigged sloop

[Two triangular sails as above, with an additional triangular sail on a second rear mast.]

Ketch

[Front triangular sail shares mast with rear quadrilateral sail.]

Gaff rigged sloop

[Two triangular sails share front mast and a much smaller aft mast holds a small aft.]

Yawl

[Two triangular front sails share forward mast with quadrilateral center sail. An aft mast supports a quadrilateral aft sail.]

Schooner

[Resembles a gaff, with the aft sail reduced and two triangular sails mounted above. The resulting shape resembles a vertical ketch.]

Ketch-rigged gaff

[Includes elements of ketch and sloop.]

Kloop-rigged sketch

[A gaff-rigged sloop is mounted on top of a second hull.]

Bunkbed rig

[The rectangular outline of a cylinder with motion lines around it.]

Flettner rig

[Three masts each with a sail only attached to the top.]

Oops, all spinnakers

[Three sails in a ketch arrangement, but mounted to the keel.]

Keel rig

[All sails are replaced by two groups of kites, each tied to the mast with an independent line.]

Kite rig

[Bermuda rigged sloop with the aft sail extending ~5 times as far back, well beyond the end of the hull.]

Longsail rig

[All sails replaced by an anchor that swings around the mast on a chain, similar to tetherball.]

Deckhand obliterator

[Gaff rigged sloop sails are mounted on a mast that is offset (forward) from the hull via an underwater extension of the keel.]

Offset rig

[A single sail is attached where the mast would normally be mounted, flapping around freely.]

Mastless rig

[Includes elements of the schooner, yawl, lateen, and possibly others.]
