Year: 1982 Language: English Author: Ross Norgrove Genre: Handbook Publisher: International Marine Pub. Co Edition: First ISBN: 978-0877421450 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 323 Description: "Extry good," Ross Norgrove says, grinning, when something pleases him. What pleases him might be a new tackle or winch arrange• ment, just the right diameter and type of wire for running backstays, a perfectly cul awning. He has spent a lifetime on oceans around the world, looking for efficiency, safety, and com• fort, and in his third book he shares with you what he has learned about cruising rigs and rigging. Norgrove starts in at the beginning, telling you how to choose the best rig for a particular vessel. He then proceeds through the details of spar construction, sail arrangement, standing and running rigging and fittings of all kinds all the way down to installing radio antennas and lightning rods where they won't interfere with rigging. The nuts and bolls are all here: how 10 pour a socket; how to hoist a dinghy on board and where lo stow it; how to black down rigging; how 10 rig a boat for self-steering; how to draw a sail plan to send to a far-away sailrnaker. Whether you are an experienced or a beginning cruiser, you will appreciate his emphasis on combining a safe rig with one tha1 is easy to handle and maintain. Norgrove's vast technical know-how is highlighted by his sea stories. He tells tales from the days of "iron men" as well as anec• dotes from his charter skipper days (such as the one about the sailor who heaved an anchor imo his rubber dinghy at night in a storm from a boat he was trying to rescue). Extry good, all of it.
