Rigging Explained: Standing & Running (Sailboat Parts Explained)

In part 3 of our series on sailboat parts, we dive into two types of rigging: standing rigging and running rigging. I use a 3D model and some diagrams to give you a good clear overview of the most important parts of the rigging of most sailboats.

To a brand new to sailing guy, this channel is invaluable! Planning to do my Yachtmasters in Gibraltar in May 2021 with a view to becoming a professional sailor. Huge lifestyle and career change and everything I am currently doing is aimed at achieving the change! Thanks for the channel.

John pointed out to me that I misspoke at 5:31. 'Mainsheet halyard' should've been 'mainsail halyard'.

[@alanchester9227]

Very helpful for us new sailors. Thanks. So what are the wire"s sheets called which you hoist various signals, ie at anchor, motoring and host country pennants?

[@expeditioncalypsowind]

I would suggest to add the importance of the chainplates as the base or anchor to the standing rigging , an extended bow pulpit is a "bow sprit " that allows for a cutter rig , different sail plans , hold anchor out away from the bow ( whose chain is controlled by a manual or electric windlass to raise & lower ) - - - -

The spreaders main purpose is bending the mast by directing the forces of the shrouds, at least on dinghys.
