	Junk (ship) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Junk sails have much in common with the most aerodynamically efficient sails used today in windsurfers or catamarans, although their design can be traced back as early the 3rd century CE.
		Classic junks were built of teak with multiple water-tight compartments, accessed by separate hatches and ladders: similar in structure to the interior stem of bamboo.
		In 1661, a naval fleet of 400 junks and 25.000 men led by the Ming loyalist Zheng Chenggong (Cheng Ch'eng-kung in Wade-Giles, known in the West as Koxinga), arrived in Taiwan to oust the Dutch from Zeelandia.

	Ancient Sailing Ships
		The Phoenician bireme had a single pole mast with a square sail and steering oars to port and starboard, with two banks of oars staggered on either side of the vessel; the upper bank situated above the lower to permit the oars of the upper bank to clear the rowers below.
		Though the advent of the lateen (fore-and-aft) sail and the stern rudder rendered the galley obsolete for commerce, it retained its military importance into the 16th century.
		Galleons were more slender than previous sailing ships, their lines resembling those of the oared galley; and they were built without the earlier overhanging forecastle that had made sailing to windward almost impossible.

	What About The Junk Rig?
		Reefing: The ease of reefing a junk rig is legendary.
		Sail "cut" is not usually regarded as being critical, and most often junk sails are built "flat" rather than being cambered.
		Proportion: The junk sail drawing shown at the top of this page is very generic, and is intended primarily as a schematic of a four batten junk (upper yard and boom not included in the batten count).

	Brian Platt: Chinese Sail
		Whereas the battens are bamboo, the yard of a Chinese sail is wood.
		Sail can be reduced progressively until just one corner remains to hold the boat steady against the wind or it can be dropped altogether, the daggerboard and rudder hoisted clear of the water, and a sea anchor thrown over the bows.
		I found that the sails suffered much more when reefed or furled than when extended until I had learned, when shortening sail on the starboard tack, to pull out the folds of cloth from where they might be caught and rubbed between the upper and lower battens or between the battens and the mast.
