Rethinking the rig

Tortuga’s rigging plan is a conversion to a single-mast sloop. The current design uses Colligo Marine Dyneema standing rigging, with two levels of spreaders.

The drawings are working documents. Photographs and older measurements are useful references, but some dimensions still need to be checked aboard before they can become cut lengths or hardware orders.

The mast plan also needs to make room for the wind sensor, VHF antenna and lights. Getting those details into the same plan is part of the work before installation.
