TUNING YOUR RIG
Full Video total running time: 75 minutes
The first in a multi part series.
Using his friendly and engaging style, Brion bebins with an orientation of wire rope properties that regular sailors can understand. Next, he uses his dynamic bungee rig model to demonstrate basic rig tuning principles. Back on the dock, Brion demos dockside tuning on four different boats from simple rigs to more complex. As he tunes, Brion introduces three different methods to measure rig tension, and the simple but critical Toss Turnbuckle Tightening Technique. For the final segment, Brion takes you sailing on the most complex of the four rigs to demonstrate dynamic tuning on the water.
