Understanding Boat & Yacht Rigging in White Bay
Boat rigging refers to the system of ropes, cables, chains, and hardware that support a sailboat’s mast and control its sails. It’s broadly divided into:
- Standing rigging — fixed lines/cables that support the mast (e.g., shrouds, stays)
- Running rigging — adjustable lines for sail control (e.g., halyards, sheets)
Proper rigging ensures the safety, performance, and longevity of both cruising and racing vessels. Regular inspection, maintenance, and professional servicing are essential, especially in saltwater environments like Sydney Harbour.
