Join me in my on going adventure of removing a boring modern rig and replacing it with a much cooler ancient one! In this episode I learn about how to make the rig not fall down! Following from the previous episode when I replace my modern bermudian ('70s) rig with one made from bamboo and polytarp... then I do some unplanned stress testing and find out what parts are strong enough and what aren't It's probably not really a good idea to do this while coastal cruising... much better to do this in a sheltered area where there are safe anchorages in all directions. If you are interested in restoring the John's old boat, please email me! I would love to see it sailing again, it's a really cool boat with an interesting history too! email me: [email protected] Also I made a video about it previously: https://youtu.be/mrZVH3XGnj0?si=PhmctHInLlBvvG7v
