Rigging my OSS

There have been a few blogs about rigging y our boat. One is here and another here. So I thought I'd post mine. My current rig is a 25sqft sprit rig. The sail is semi-permanently attached to the mast. So here is my rigging procedure, which is the same from shore or alongside the dock:
  1. Unfurl the sail
  2. Set the Sprit
  3. Step the Mast
  4. Go Sailing
Getting ready for port is even easier, simply unstep the mast , roll up the sail and store. I have been in talks with Dave over at Polysail and I think I'll have my next sail professionally made. The price is good and will make a good Christmas present to myself. May even go a bit bigger to 33sqft!
