THE AFFAIRS PECULIAR RIG
The rigging of the Herreshof 46-footer AL
tar attracts attention the crosstrees put
low down the mast. The masthead is about
as long as the Columbias. and when the mansaf
is being set the gait slides up higher than the
hounds. At the moorngs the rig resembles that
of the English cutters of earlier years when they
carried very short lower masts and long topmasts
which much often housed
than they were in America 1t is said that the
Affairs plan is to bring the support L the mast
in the region where 1t is most needed. Others
measurement for time allowance The excess OF
gait over so per cent of the topmast's length
is added the base line in the surfing and Il
has been argued that by taking extraordi-
narily long tOpmast considerable of untaxed
sail be had by using untaxed and extra
long gaff.
