The Potential Performance of Ancient Mediterranean Sailing Rigs
Year: 2011 Language: english Author: Julian Whitewright Genre: Research papers Publisher: The International Journal of Nautical Archaeology Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 16 Description: The invention of the lateen/settee rig in the Mediterranean is usually considered, by scholars of the matter, in terms of a ‘need-driven’ technological change, meaning by ‘need’ the constant effort of the sailors to improve the performance of their sailing vessels. In particular, the general speed and the upwind performance, or velocity made good, which the lateen/settee rig allows. This statement is now commonly accepted. Research by the author sets out to develop an insight into the relative performance of both types of rig, based on historical sources, ethnographic records and the performance of representative, full-size sailing vessels. This allows a reassessment to be made of the underlying reasons behind the adoption of the lateen/settee rig in the Mediterranean.
