RIG DESIGN HINTS
Hi, if you have been to this page before, welcome back. I have added new gems to the bottom of the page.This
area documents a series of common points that are a useful pointers on
yacht rigs today. It is by no means advice on how you should design
your mast or how we would design your mast. But in any case there are a
number of common traits shown on many masts today and it helps to
recognise them and look at the 'big picture'.
We have made up all of the above due to questions we have been
asked or problems we have faced. Don't forget my disclaimer at the
beginning! Please do not hesitate to suggest a topic or
ask questions, try to frame it so the answer could be of interest to
others too. Cheers, Chris.
