RIGGING PLAN

[KJD13]

Hi, I have a sail plan but was wondering if there was a rigging plan for the Top Hats? If anyone has one, I sure would appreciate a copy.
Thanks,

Kevin,

Most Top Hats have the same rigging plan [per each mark] the only variation was that some early Mark 1's had twin back stays.
Later ones then had a single back stay with a split Y because of the removable stern panel.

I have seen the split Y on mark 2 & 3 also.

Were you after wire sizes?

[KJD13]

Yes Phil, I have heard of toppies with larger forestays and backstays and smaller shrouds and others with complete sets of both the smaller and larger rig sizes. Accordingly, I was wondering if there was any of the original documents that gave info on the standard rigging sizes.
Thanks,

We only have plans for the Mark 0 rig, will that do to start with?

[KJD13]

Thanks anyway Phil, but the one for the Mark 1 probably wouldn't be of much value for this project.
