pp. 195, “The Rigger’s Apprentice is not just another knot book, even though the knots a sailor needs are all here. Nor is it a survey of rigs, for the subject is rigging its principles and procedures. Seizings, lashings, double sheet bends, grommets, wire splices, handybillies–all these are traditional techniques whose usefulness is valid even on modern, high-tech boats. Toss tells how to replace an entire gang of rigging–measuring, choosing appropriate wire, turning soft eyes, leathering, and serving. And if you are a bluewater voyager, you’ll feel secure in the knowledge that, should a shroud carry away far at sea, you’ll be able to repair it.”
