Fittings
When building either a complete boat or a rig remember the adage – “keep it simple” this serves 3 purposes
1) less to go wrong
2) its normally lighter!
3) It can cut costs significantly
Having been bought up in the company of some of the great innovators of our sport that have taken this principle to heart (Roger Stollery, Fred Sheppard and Alex Austin to name but a few) you can make pretty well all the fittings needed from a bit of bent wire!
Take a look around there are plenty of examples that demonstrate a bit of wire or a piece of string can do most anything!
