I have just picked up Rigging by Fabbroni off my shelf and found, again, that it is unreadable. Any alternatives out there?
Good rigging book?

Good coverage but why the small gray print? And yellow paper? Not so easy to read.

Well, I've been giving Brion Toss more than a glance and I'm not so impressed: 2.5 out of 5. Perhaps 5 out of 5 if you have a beard, smoke a pipe and smell of Stockholm tar.
There's nothing on furling gear and how to replace the bearings or stay. There's nothing on sta-lok type fittings. Etc. etc..
It's a book for a bygone age. Nice to have on the bookshelf but really not much use for today's rigging.
I would, incidentally, give Fabbroni 1 out of 5.

Humm, I have Toss's book and found it very good. Yes, a bit dated , but many have boats of the same vintage. Maybe more for the 'classic' crew.
