Model showing a method for jury-rigging a rudder
In maritime transport terms, and most commonly in sailing, jury-rigged[1] is an adjective, a noun, and a verb. It can describe the actions of temporary makeshift running repairs made with only the tools and materials on board; and the subsequent results thereof. The origin of jury-rigged and jury-rigging lies in such efforts done on boats and ships, characteristically sail powered to begin with. Jury-rigging can be applied to any part of a ship; be it its super-structure (hull, decks), propulsion systems (mast, sails, rigging, engine, transmission, propeller), or controls (helm, rudder, centreboard, daggerboards, rigging).
Similarly, after a dismasting, a replacement mast, often referred to as a jury mast[2] (and if necessary, yard) would be fashioned, and stayed to allow a watercraft to resume making way.
