210 pages including index. "An all-new collection of useful ideas, undeservedly obscure knots and splices, and tips on everything from working safely aloft to sail configurations, making ratlines and blocks, carrying plywood sheets, and preventing the eternally irritating problem of keeping that drawstring from disappearing into the waistband of your sweatpants. All from a man who's spent two pine tar-stained decades in rigging lofts and boatyards in search of the ideal rig and the perfect splice. Abundantly illustrated, it provides a lockerful of value for boatowners looking to maintain, repair, and improve their own rigs." - from dust jacket.
