About this product

Product Information

Combining and updating the renowned Rigger's Apprentice and Rigger's Locker , meets the changing face of modern materials and technology while remaining true to rigging's best traditional principles and practices. It's much more than a knot book, though the knots a sailor needs are all here. It's a book for sailors who want the satisfaction and hard-cash savings of stepping their own masts, inspecting and maintaining their own rigs, and turning their own tailsplices and wire eyesplices. It is for boatowners who want to replace an entire gang of rigging themselves--measuring, choosing appropriate wire, turning soft eyes, leathering, and serving. It is for bluewater voyagers who want to feel secure in the knowledge that, should a shroud carry away far at sea, they will be able to repair it. The Complete Rigger's Apprentice is also a free-roaming collection of useful ideas and tips on everything from supplementing winches with block and tackle, to rigging snubbers at anchor, to using pantyhose for an emergency fanbelt. In short, it's the definitive book on the art of rigging, written by its most entertaining practitioner.

    The Complete Rigger's Apprentice by Brion Toss

    This book is a great work by Brion, you are able to save money and rig your sailing vessel with complete confidence. If you have been rigging for life or just a beginner, this book is the best guide you can have. Every question or argument about rigging can use Brion's book for the answers. My only negative comment about this book would be, is that it has revealed my ignorance about things I thought I knew.

    No brainer

    I shouldn't really have to write anything here. This is a book by Brion Toss. If you are a sailor, you should read every book by Brion Toss. He's an artist, a savant, and most importantly, a master at rigging. You will sail more safely and effectively if you read and study his work.

    Best book to keep on board for emergencys.

    Outstanding source of info which is otherwise hard to come by. Would have gladly paid two and a half times as much for two and a half times as much book. Was looking for more comprehensive coverage of various mainsheet tackles.
