SOLWAY DORY

Expedition Rig

  This rig is aimed at the paddler who wants an auxiliary down wind rig. 

Unlike most such rigs, this one is designed and made up by people who know something about sailing. 

 

 

All three spars are only 6 ft 3" long so the rig packs into a very compact bundle.

 

 

The sail is a real sail made by a sailmaker. It has a good 3D shape and with the addition of our throw over leeboard (below) will sail to windward.

 

The rig is supplied with a mast thwart and mast step.
