Jib boom
As Klüverbaum is called on historic sailing ships, a round timber ( fachsprachlich : a spar ), which over the bow of a sailing ship protrudes. Unlike the bowsprit , a jib boom is theoretically movable; as a rule, however, it is firmly attached and cannot be easily removed.
The name Klüverbaum probably originated from the word Kluif , Dutch for claw, here meaning "stolen".
The jib boom can be placed on an extended bowsprit on larger ships. In order to prevent it from breaking off, it is staged . If a simple water day is enough to prevent small sailing boats from breaking up, several water days and pounding days can be used, depending on their size . For lateral protection, Klüvergeien are used, which some sailors used to spread the angle through lateral violin arms (similar to the ramming stick). Stage and Geien are named after the sails to the neck fitting they are attached to, for example, Binnenklüverwerstag and Binnenklüvergeien. Under jib trees, the sails of which cannot be operated from the deck, a net - the so-called jib net - is usually attached, in which the outboard workers work.
Up to five headsails can be attached to the jib boom : Flieger, Jager , outer jib, (B) inner jib and forestay sail or jib.
The jib boom is measured over everything along with the length . If it can be dismantled or retracted, the port mooring costs are therefore cheaper.
Jib boom and jib sails are no longer common on modern sailing yachts. If there is a movable spar at the bow, it is used for a gennaker or blister .
