I recently lost a wooden boat with traditional rigging to a severe storm. The loss was somewhat mitigated by some sense of relief, as I had been fairly intimidated by my lack of any knowledge of how to repair or replace these exact things, along with most other components of the boat. But now I’m actually considering acquiring another because of the methods and explanations so well conveyed through this excellent video and so many others like it here at OCH. Thank you all for sharing your expertise and passion.
