In [[maritime transport]] and [[sailing]], '''jury rigging''' or '''jury-rigging'''<ref name="Lexico">{{Cite web|url=https://www.lexico.com/definition/jury-rigged|title=jury-rigged|website=www.Lexico.com|publisher=[[Oxford English Dictionary]]|date=2022|access-date=22 January 2022|archive-date=23 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123095751/https://www.lexico.com/definition/jury-rigged|url-status=dead}}</ref> is making temporary makeshift running repairs with only the tools and materials on board. It originates from [[sail]]-powered [[boat]]s and [[ship]]s. Jury-rigging can be applied to any part of a ship; be it its super-structure ([[Hull (watercraft)|hull]], [[Deck (ship)|decks]]), [[Marine propulsion|propulsion systems]] ([[Mast (sailing)|mast]], [[Sail components|sails]], [[Standing rigging|rigging]], [[Marine engine|engine]], [[Transmission (mechanics)|transmission]], [[propeller]]), or controls ([[Ship's wheel|helm]], [[rudder]], [[centreboard]], [[daggerboard]]s, [[Running rigging|rigging]]).

Similarly, a '''jury mast''' is a replacement [[Mast (sailing)|mast]] after a [[dismasting]].<ref name=OEDjurymast>{{Cite book|title=The Oxford English Dictionary, Volume V, H-K|location=Oxford|publisher=[[Clarendon Press]]|date=1933|page=637, corrected reprinting 1966}}</ref> If necessary, a [[Yard (sailing)|yard]] would also be fashioned and [[Stays (nautical)|stayed]] to allow a watercraft to resume making [[Way (vessel)|way]].
