A masthead rig on a sailing vessel consists of a forestay and backstay both attached at the top of the mast. ref Cite book last Dedekam first Ivar title Sail and Rig Tuning publisher John Wiley & Sons date 2000 pages 62 isbn 1898660670 ref The Bermuda rig can be split into two groups the masthead rig and the fractional rig . The masthead rig has larger and more headsails, and a smaller mainsail, compared to the fractional rig. The major advantage a masthead sloop has over a fractional one, is that the jib is larger. Since the jib has no mast in front of it to cause turbulent airflow over it, it is considered much more efficient than the main, especially for sailing up wind. Also, since the fore stay is attached to the top of the mast, it pulls directly against the back stay. Tightening the back stay, then, increases the tension on the fore stay. This is useful because the jib needs considerable fore stay tension to set well. This need increases in direct proportion to the wind speed and jib size. Increasing the tension on the back stay does not tend to bend the mast, as it would on a fractional sloop. It puts the mast in compression instead. For this reason the mast on a mast head rig has has a thicker section at the top to stand this load. One reason this rig is used on ocean going boats is that it can be made quite strong as every part of it, except the boom, is in either tension or compression. This rig requires a much stiffer hull than a fractional sloop rig to take these rigging loads, so is not well suited for lightly built boats. A major disadvantage is that, to shorten sail, the jib must be reefed as well as the main. If the jib is taken in and the main left standing, the main will have a strong tendency to weathercock the boat into the wind, making it uncontrollable. There are four typical remedies used 1. put reef points in the jib, 2. have a smaller jib to set in place of the full sized one, 3. have a roller furling mechanism that rolls up the jib like wi ... more details

The genoa or jenny was originally referred to as the overlapping jib or the Genoa jib , being named after the city of Genoa as explained below. It is a type of large jib or staysail used on bermuda rig ged craft that overlaps the main sail, sometimes eliminating it. It is used on single masted sloop s and twin masted boats such as yawl s and ketch s. Its large surface area increases the speed of the craft in moderate winds in high wind conditions a smaller jib is usually substituted, and downwind a spinnaker may be used. The feature that distinguishes a genoa from a jib is that the former extends past the mast, overlapping the mainsail when viewed from the side. ref cite book title Sailing Big ..., Inc. year 2007 isbn 1574092472 ref Definition Image Jib vs genoa.svg thumb right 330px A jib, left ... used somewhat interchangeably with jib , but technically there is a clear delineation.

Image PVC jib furler.jpg right thumb A simple home built jib furler, showing the furling line ready to furl the jib, and inset showing the furled jib Roller furling is a method of furl sailing furling or reefing wherein a sail is rolled around a Stays nautical stay or rotating spar . Roller furling is most commonly encountered on foresail s, such as jib s, with mainsail s a distant second. Furling methods The furling system itself is very simple in concept. The edge of the sail to be furled is stiffened in some way, such as by attaching it to a length of plastic pipe or by sewing in a stiff material. This stiffened edge serves to spread the force of the furler along the edge of the sail, so that the sail will furl along its full length. This stiffened edge is then attached to the source of energy for furling, which may be a handle that is turned, a spool containing a line that is pulled, or a motor. Murray Scheiner, a sailor and professional rigging designer from Great Neck, New York, first invented the furling jib in the late 1960s. His inspiration came from observing a disabled sailor friend who required several crew members to hoist the jib, preventing him from sailing independently. This invention greatly changed sailing for professionals and leisure sailors alike. Since the Wykeham Martin furling gear http www.davey.co.uk pdf wykeham martin gear.pdf has been in continuous production in Britain for approximately 100 years it is possible that someone else thought of this system ... of either a plastic pipe or a specially stiffened jib, and a spool to hold the furling line.
