Description
Skipper’s Mast and Rigging Guide is a thorough and practical handbook for sailors who want full control of their mast, rigging and standing and running rigging. Written by René Westerhuis, the book covers the entire process from installation and mast raising to tuning, rigging trim and ongoing maintenance. It explains how the rigging affects the boat’s performance and safety, and gives specific advice on how to adjust the rigging, stays and sails in different conditions. With clear explanations and plenty of illustrations, the book is a valuable reference for both touring sailors and more experienced sailors who want to optimize their rig and prevent wear and tear and breakdowns. This is a classic “skipper’s book” that is just as suitable for the bookshelf at home as on board.
