- 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).
