Victory rigging is going extremely difficult for me. My problem is I cannot do something I do not understand. It takes sometimes weeks for me to understand where and how some line starts and ends and their function. Comprehensive one source for Victory rigging doesn’t exist. I obtained and use 4 books to decipher each single part of rigging at a time. Most of the times what is shown in one book is obscure for understanding. Then I must use other three to finally exclaim “eureka , I got it”. Here’s an example. I struggled to understand a bowsprit standing rigging. I was looking for hours at great picture in McGowan book (most valuable book I have for this purpose by the way) and couldn’t get it. I read the verbal description of it in Longridge book about 20 times (this is the most obscure reading I ever had as it also goes with no pictures most of the time). Then I was looking onto diagrams in McKay book intermittently. Well I finally got it.
