  • Question:
    Rigging - Of what colour are the lines ?
  • Answers:

  • Standing rigging (D: shrouds, back stays, stays and bobstays) are black. Ratlines are also black.
  • Running rigging (C: halyards, arms, sheets, etc.) are beige.
  • Kits often miss black lines. We then have to dye with Indian ink a part of the supplied lines.
  • It is an easy work: the line to dye (1) passes through a drilled strip (3) which will maintain it in the heart of the bottle (2).
