Rigging system for sailboat eliminating forestays - has swept spreaders and shrouds with stays running diagonally from spreader tip

摘要

The rig comprises the mast (2) swept backwards, upper (7) and lower (8) spreaders, shroud (11) and the usual shrouds (14, 15) crossing the stays (18 and 19), the latter running between the tip of the upper spreader (7) and the attachment of the lower spreader (8) to the mast (2), respectively, between the tips of the lower spreader (8) and the foot of the mast. Although it is not strictly necessary from a truss work point of view, it is advisable that the rig include extensions of the top shrouds (20 and 21).
