Overview
The Rigger's Apprentice is not just another knot book,even though the knots a sailor needs are all here. Nor is it a survey of rigs,for the subject is rigging itself: its principles and procedures. Seizings,lashings,double sheet bends,grommets,wire splices,handybillies—all these are traditional techniques whose usefulness is valid even on modern,high-tech boats. Toss tells how to replace an entire gang of rigging—measuring,choosing appropriate wire,turning soft eyes,leathering,and serving. And if you are a bluewater voyager,you'll feel secure in the knowledge that,should a shroud carry away far at sea,you'll be able to repair it.Book Details
