GAFF RIGS Page 1.
GO TO GAFF RIG - PAGE 2

Many owners enjoy a long association with gaff rigged boats while others are attracted to the rig by its beauty and charm are to handle the extra work and maintenance that is a part of living with these rigs. One advantage of the gaff rig is that it can be much less expensive to install than a modern rig and many traditional boats accept the less expensive gear and 'look right.’ The galvanized fittings and natural fibre cordage are in keeping with the overall appearance of the boat; expensive stainless steel fittings could look out of place. A well designed gaff rig will accept a natural grown timber mast and boom; fortunately there are still places where you can select your own spars from the forest.

	SPRAY 40 Peggotty This steel Spray 40 has cruised extensively including a trip to Antarctica - See below. Steve is now building his second Spray 40 Hello Bruce, Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the plans for the Spray Pilot 40 arrived the other day. There sure are a lot of detailed drawing which will help immensely with the project. I have one question, do the pattern lines for the frames represent the outside or inside dimensions, in other words, would I lay the flat bar on the outside or the inside of the lines in relation to the center line? Thanks again for the plans. Steve ANSWER: The frames are built inside the pattern lines .... only the plating is outside these lines...Bruce
