Darrell H Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Does anyone know of a book of rigging types and options for a 10' sailing dinghy? a book or booklet with pictures would be very helpfull. Thanks Darrell Quote
ChrisObee Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Try this it does not cover a lot of different rigs but it is very clear and very detailed. http://www.glen-l.com/free-book/rigging-small-sailboats.html#contents Quote
Greg Luckett Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 You might take a look at the following: "The Sailmaker's Apprentice" by Marino. "The Gaff Rig Handbook", by John Leather. "The Sharpie Book" by Parker. Good luck....you are in for an adventure in learning. Quote
Charlie Jones Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Bolger also put out a small book called 101 rigs for small sailboats ( or something like that) .Shows 101 different ( amazing huh?) sailing rigs and explains them. Quote

PAR Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I have Bolger's "101 Rigs" and I'm pretty sure he's updated a new addition, including a few more rigs, many of which are the oddest things to be seen on a wind powered craft. Quote
Darrell H Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 Chris That book on Glen-L's website "Rigging Small Sailboats" is perfect. And best of all it's free. It covers most everything. I Know there is much more to rigging than that, but for me it's exactly what I need Thank you Darrell Thanks to every one who answered my cry for help. I'll be back for more - no doubt Quote
ChrisObee Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 It does a good job showing all the details you need to sloop rig a small boat. Glad I could help. Quote
