Calling all rigging nerds! Remember our friends at Oakcliff Sailing Center in Oyster Bay, New York? They have a fleet of Swedish Match 40s and host a dozen match race regattas every year. In this video, they walk us through how to rig a Swedish Match 40. If you mostly sail dinghies, there’s plenty to learn about how boats like this are set up.
