About sail-boat-riggingAll About Sail-Boat-Rigging If you possess a sailing yacht then you also recognize that they are relatively complex and have many systems that can break or need upkeep. You may own one of my marine electrical or marine electronics books or a book in the Understanding Boat series and I trust you found it helpful and illuminating I am a qualified and practising marine electrical and electronics engineer as well as a marine surveyor. I am also a yachtsman just like you and I have constructed and cruised several sailing yachts. I have performed sailing racing yacht overhaul work on scores of other sailing boats lived aboard a number of cruising sailboats for a decade or more. You learn a lot about what works and what fails. I communicate practical tips based on experience and reality. Like many I choose to execute my own cruising yacht repair work as professionals can charge some frightening hourly rates. It is a truth that the majority of all yacht electrical and electronics faults are directly caused by wrong wiring and imperfect wire connections. These same faults are also a chief cause of fires on cruising yachts. Just because the average sailing yacht has only a 12 volt electrical system, this will not prevent grave problems or fires. One improperly rated and installed wire and an equally deficient connection could potentially ruin you sailboat.
