Sailing the Hunter 336 long distance
It's fairly easy to prove that
tripod rigs are *stronger* than conventional rigs because of reduced catenary forces nope. and you don't know the meaning of the word "catenary". a backstayless rig can indeed do the job under conditions for which the boat is designed but it NOT stronger than convential rigs (of the same size and weigh) and "catenary forces" have nothing to do with it. |
