Excerpt from A New Rig for Ships and Other Vessels: Combining Economy, Safety and Convenience
The experience of the New Rig, during the last six years, in the ships Massachusetts, Samoset, Reindeer, and in the barks Edith Lantao, Racehorse, and Mermaid, satisfies me that it must come mto general use in the merchant-service; and I beg most earnestly to call the attention of ship-owners and shipmasters to the many advantages set forth in the following pages, all of which have been fully realized by those who have sailed in the ships alluded to.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a new ship rigging system created by the author, who, dissatisfied with the old design, presents a better solution for managing sails, reducing labor, and enhancing safety. The crux of the new rig is the reimagined distribution of sails and yards, which can now be moved between several places on the ship, making them more available and easier to deploy. The author's modified design offers significant advantages over traditional rigging methods, including the ability to reduce sail area quickly in response to changing weather conditions, thereby improving safety for the ship and crew. The book also delves into the broader historical context of ship rigging, the challenges faced by sailors, and the need for innovation in the face of evolving technologies and maritime practices. The insights presented in this book will be invaluable to shipbuilders, sailors, and maritime historians seeking to understand the evolution of ship rigging and its impact on seafaring practices.
