Publisher's Synopsis

The Rigging Handbook is the definitive book on the art of rigging.


Addressing the requirements of both modern rigging materials and traditional principles and practices, it is ideal for anyone who wants the satisfaction and cash savings of stepping their own mast, inspecting and maintaining their own rig, and turning their own tailsplices and wire eyesplices. It is especially valuable for offshore sailors who want to feel secure in the knowledge that, should a shroud carry away at sea, they will be able to repair it.
