[Public-list] Standing rigging

[Bob Crinion]

Hey Peter,

Here in Nova Scotia, you can search the provincial library's books online
with a web browser. I recently found a copy of John Vigor's 25 Small Yachts
to take you anywhere on the library web site

Perhaps you can search your local library system the same way and find one
or more rigging books.

A search in our library found the book Gord suggested:

Understanding rigs and rigging / Richard Henderson. 
 
by Henderson, Richard, 1924- 
Camden, Me. : International Marine Pub. Co., c1985. c1985.

Also:

Rigging sail / by Percy W. Blandford.
 
by Blandford, Percy W. 
Blue Ridge Summit, Pa. : Tab Books, 1983. 1983. 

Hope this helps,

Bob

I want to learn more about standing rigging at a laymans level.Things like
single or twin backstays,how to stop a mast pumping in strong winds etc
etc.Can anyone recommend a book that does not confuse with too much
science.Richard Hendeson wrote Rigs and Rigging but most reviews indicate
too much complexity.
