In association with Amazon.com
  

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - NO NUMBERS
I bought this book looking for an help to clarify me how to make choices about rigging and rigs .But for me there a not enough diagrams or tables .



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not for the beginner
I'm building a sailboat, and being new to sailing, I was hoping this book would give me a fairly basic overview to rigging. Instead, this book is more a discussion for the intermediate or advanced sailor, who already understands rigging however is looking for a general discussion of best practices.

I doubt this book would be of much use to the novice.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best single volume I have found on small sailboat rigs
I have a fairly large collection of sailing books, and this is one of the few that has become worn from use. I guess I've probably read the whole book at least five times, reading and re-reading various chapters as questions occur to me. The book is surprisingly readable, given what could be an overly technical or difficult subject area. It's a very practical little guide book. For anyone who is thinking about, or trying to understand, the rigging of small sailboats (I mean, say, under 100 feet), this is a very good book to have. Highly recommended. Mark Lane
