  • The complete riggers apprentice

    This is a Haynes manual for rigging and should be a well read book for anyone who aspires to own or actually owns a boat. Personally I plan on buying a small sail boat and it is helping me name knots I have used for years and name parts correctly. I would like not to look and sound like a complete boat wreck about to happen.
