02 · Main vs Trim

A quick
vocabulary note.

For Gigs, the word "trim" means the joint line of hull & bow / stern decks, plus the saxboard lip. Everything else (hull, bow canvas, stern canvas) is what we call"main".

Main
  • Hull
  • Bow canvas
  • Stern canvas
Trim
  • Joint line of hull & bow / stern decks
