RIGGING

13.14.1. General Description

The rig consists of a mast and boom held up and tensioned by the standing rigging. The standing
rigging on your Oceanis is discontinuous. This style of rigging has a turnbuckle assembly at the
lower spreader tips to attach the upper cap shrouds (V2/D3's) and upper intermediates (D2's) to
the lower cap shrouds (V1's) This arrangement saves weight aloft by eliminating extra shrouds.
The sails are attached to the mast, boom and genoa furler. The sails are shaped and controlled by
the running rigging.
