The standing rigging ("side rigging") is fitted by starting at the
top of the mast and gradually feeding it down step by step to the
foot. The diagonal rigging (intermediate shrouds) and the sprea-
ders are fitted during this process.
The standing rigging will be placed on either side of the mast.
Fitting of shells
The shells are placed into the mast (before the cables are threaded
through the holes in the spreaders) in three simple stages:
Fitting
n aluminium rivet is placed into the top hole to stop the shell falling
out during the stepping of the mast.
inserting the rivet.
once the mast is erected, the shells are kept firmly in place by the rig-
ging tension.
Types of masthead rig
- Side shells: come ready fitted (with rivet attachment);
- T-terminal: Line up the terminal at 90° and turn it 90° to fit into its hou-
sing. Fix a stopper in place to prevent it falling out (particularly for the
runners);
- External masthead rig (on tangs): never apply tension to the bolts that
pass through (risk of squashing the mast). Secure the attachment making
sure to open up the split pin once the swage eyes are in place.
