The Gaff Rig Handbook

This is the internationally regarded definitive handbook for anyone designing, building, rigging or sailing gaff
rigged craft. It provides a fascinating insight into the design, history,
techniques and developments of a rig which has evolved through the
centuries.

John Leather outlines the practical aspects of the masts,
spars, sails, running and standing rigging, and contrasts the
development of the gaff rig in Britain, America, Scandinavia and
France.
