Deck and Above
Welcome to the 'TECHNICAL TIPS - DECK & ABOVE' section of the SOA Website.
This section is predominantly all about the rig, the main source of power for your Shrimper.
For the racing enthusiast rig alterations are necessarily restricted to ensure that the boats remain one-design. Those interested in more leisurely pursuits enjoy greater freedom and on these pages we aim to bring you ideas to make your Shrimper sailing easier and more enjoyable, especially for the short handed. These include are a few alternatives on that major topic of discussion amongst owners, how to get the mast up.
Contributions are always welcome and should be sent to kthatcher@talktalk.net
