Running rigging
The running rigging comprises all the lines and relative mechanics used to hoist and
control the sails, this includes halyards, sheets, guys, lifts, downhauls and outhauls
together with their various shackles, blocks, cleats and winches. It is essential that
they are inspected regularly for any signs of wear or stress. Information on types of
cordage, wire ropes and fittings can be gained from a good chandler.
Sails
All yachts are supplied with Lucas sails which are manufactured from woven
dacron. This material has good tensile strength, resists abrasion and is not unduly
affected by moisture, however, it can be damaged by ultra-violet light and should
not therefore be exposed unnecessarily to sunlight. If treated with care and
maintained correctly these sails should give many seasons good service.
