Random information on the term “Jib”:
A lateen (from French latine, meaning “Latin”) or latin-rig is a triangular sail set on a long yard mounted at an angle on the mast, and running in a fore-and-aft direction.
Dating back to Roman navigation, the lateen became the favorite sail of the Age of Discovery, mainly because it allows a boat to tack “against the wind.” It is common in the Mediterranean, the upper Nile River, and the northwestern parts of the Indian Ocean, where it is the standard rig for feluccas and dhows. The lateen is used today in a slightly different form on small recreational boats like the Sailfish and Sunfish, but is still used as a working rig by coastal fishermen in the Mediterranean.
The lateen evolved out of the dominant square rig by setting the sails more fore-and-aft – along the line of the keel – rather than athwartship, while tailoring the luff and leech. The scholar consensus from lots of historians (for example, George Hourani) is that lateen originated in Southeast Asia. The triangular shape of the lateen sail is highly characteristic of the far more ancient crab claw sails (Oceanic lateen) of the Austronesian sailors in the Indo-Pacific. Some believe that early contact of Arab trade ships in the Indian Ocean with Austronesian sailors resulted in the development of the Arabic lateen sail. Mahdi (1999) has also proposed that Arab ships may have also influenced the development of the Austronesian rectangular tanja sail which is prevalent in western Southeast Asia. However, authors like Johnstone, Shaffer, and Hourani consider it an indigenous Austronesian development, given the sheer antiquity of Austronesian ships and their trading networks as the first true maritime sailors of both the Indian and the Pacific Oceans. Austronesian sails differ sharply from western Eurasian sails (including the lateen) in that they have spars along both the upper and lower edges.
