Do you have an older sailboat with minimal or worn running rigging? Did you recently buy a used sailboat and you don’t know if you can trust the standing rigging? Do you want to set up your sailboat for maximum cruising pleasure and performance? Do you like to save money but you want quality rigging that you can trust?

There are sailboat rigging books that can help you become a professional rigger. There are books that trace the history of every known sailboat design through the ages. There are rigging books priced as high as college textbooks. If you own a daysailer or weekend cruiser and you just want add a few rigging upgrades to your sailboat, those aren’t the books for you.

All the Most Useful Upgrades in One Place

I’m happy to announce that my latest ebook Do-It-Yourself Small Sailboat Rigging is available for purchase starting today. If you like the rigging projects that you’ve read about on The $tingy Sailor for years, then this is the ebook you want. I’ve compiled 21 of the standing rigging and running rigging projects together and organized them in one place.

• Standing rigging including modifications for faster and easier mast stepping
• Boom topping lift, vang, and downhaul
• Mainsail jiffy reefing lines, lazy jacks, and outhaul
• Headsail pendant and downhaul
• Cruising spinnaker rigging on a budget
• Tips on leading lines aft to the cockpit for single-handed sailing
• Running rigging color selection, line storage, and more!

I also brought some of them up to date with projects that I did after I wrote the older posts, including more cross references between projects. And I supplemented many of the projects with my own illustrations like the one below.

Rigging a small sailboat isn’t rocket science and it doesn’t have to cost thousands of dollars. All the projects in this ebook use time-proven methods and materials to give you maximum sailing bang for your hard-earned buck. Besides learning how to install each upgrade, you’ll learn how it works and why it can help you become a better sailor. Numerous photos and illustrations supplement the text.
