Rigging – it is what holds the mast up and transfers the power of the wind in the sails into forward momentum – it’s kind of vitally important and needs to be looked after.


Synthetic fibre – we walk on it, we wear it, we make sails out of it, build aircraft wings out of it – but what is it?


We will look at the many forms of fibre, how it is put together and attached; and where do we as surveyors come in; how can we inspect it and what reference points may we have? You can reserve your place now by going to https://bit.ly/2Wu2EjZ.
