Unseen rigging problems can become costly and can certainly jeopardize safety at sea. In this video, master rigger Brion Toss of Port Townsend, Washington will show you how to spot rigging problems before they cause trouble.

Dockwalk with Brion Toss for a close-up look at rigging components and learn about some of your important hardware options. Learn to spot good and bad rigging on various boats. Then observe Brion conducting a full sailboat survey - going about the nitty gritty business of a full rigging inspection - along the deck and aloft.
