Rig Basics

How to Look After Your Mast, Rigging and Sails

Rig Basics – How to Look After Your Mast, Rigging and Sails, is Petrospot’s first foray into the sailing and yachting sector. Written by Kim Skov-Nielsen, a hugely experienced round-the-world yachtsman and active marine surveyor, this book provides a concise, informative and clearly-written outline of what an owner or operator must take into consideration when looking after the mast, rigging and sails. It is also a highly useful guide to what a surveyor should be looking at when surveying a rig.

I was so taken with this slim volume that I agreed to write a foreword for it. I really believe that no skipper should put to sea without it. It covers every aspect of rig maintenance and we’ll all be a lot safer and happier with it on board.’

Tom Cunliffe, yachtsman, journalist and author
