Formed in 1979 at the Southampton Boat Show by a group of junk rig enthusiasts, the JRA (Junk Rig Association) is for its members and about their boats and their rigs. We aim to: promote the use of the junk rig by encouraging members to organise 'rallies' and 'junkets' (see About Us) and via our tri-annual Magazine and this site; encourage the development of junk and related rigs, the building or conversion of boats to the junk rig, and the use of vessels with the rig or its derivatives; create an international community of people who've already 'junked' their boat, are thinking of doing so, or are just interested in learning what it's all about.
 banking remains in the UK we are run by an increasingly international Committee via the Internet. A number of posts become vacant every year, at the AGM, so if you choose to join you could also put your name forward to help run the 'club'. It doesn't run itself. Our membership is now more than 50% outside the UK. Click the chart for detail.
by Chris Boxer Inspired by Richard’s blog about his Newbridge Coromandel, Tammy Norie, I bought Emmelène in 2016 and she has proved to be an excellent sea boat. The main alteration I undertook, greatly helped by my late father, who was a wonderful carpenter, was extending the mast (which had been mysteriously shortened by a previous owner). Again, I simply copied my sister-ship, Tammy Norie!
The Newbridge Coromandel is an excellent boat to live aboard, for a single hander or a cosy couple.
Sadly, my dad passed away last year, and that’s why Emmelène is now officially for sale. This describes how he and his dad refitted Emmelène, how he built his self-steering gear, and some of Emmelène’s voyages. Highly recommended also is a video made by Richard, entitled Tammy, Emmelène, and Amiina, a record of the three similar-size boats cruising in company, which may be found at https://youtu.be/wFQZAxJpfS8 – or by going to the Tammy Norie YouTube channel – and do also look at some of Richard’s junk rig videos!

I have spent many happy weeks working on her, and every summer living aboard and cruising, initially on the south coast of the UK, and then further afield, including a summer voyage to northern Holland, in the excellent company of the aforementioned Richard.
JRA member Edward kindly provided me with a former sail from his boat,
I have spent every summer aboard, since 2016, and have always marvelled at the comfort of the cabin, in which I can easily cook, sleep and read.
