Abstract:
A standing rigging system comprising:a. a compressive means which inclines longitudinally, laterally, or both longitudinally and laterally, which has an upper portion and lower portion, which upper portion interconnects by connection means to upper terminus of tensile means, and which lower portion interconnects by connection means with vehicle at location such that centerline or projected centerline of compressive means passes within a figure which is concentric with, congruent to, and has 76% the area of a quadrangular figure with one vertex at the foremost tensile means, one vertex at the aftmost tensile means, one vertex at the extreme right edge of the vehicle specifically lateral to compressive means, and one vertex at the extreme left edge of the vehicle specifically lateral to compressive means;b. a foremost tensile means which inclines longitudinally and which has an upper terminus and lower terminus, which upper terminus interconnects by connection means to upper portion of compressive means, and which lower terminus interconnects by connection means to vehicle at or aft of forward extreme of vehicle;c. an aftmost tensile means which inclines longitudinally by 20.06 degrees or less from upright, which has an upper terminus and lower terminus, which upper terminus interconnects by connection means to upper portion of compressive means, which lower terminus interconnects by connection means to vehicle at or forward of aft extreme of vehicle.
