Bermuda rig

A Bermuda rig is a common sailboat setup featuring a triangular sail called a mainsail, which is attached to a tall mast. The design optimizes performance by allowing the boat to sail efficiently close to the wind and provides good stability and control. It typically includes a front sail called a jib or genoa that works with the mainsail to harness wind power. The Bermuda rig’s streamlined, easy-to-handle design makes it popular for modern sailboats, especially in racing and cruising. Its simple yet effective structure improves maneuverability and speed across varied wind conditions.
