    Dabchick Rigging

    Mast Rigging

    Dabchicks are currently rigged for rotating mast – a pin in the


    mast foot rotates in a nylon block on the deck. At the hounds,
    all three stays are shackled to a mast tang. By undoing the big
    shackle, the mast can be removed for storage and the sidestays
    can stay on the boat.
