Sunbird "90's" Rig

Designed by Alan Boswell to Sunbird Marine specifications. A mixture of the Reddish and Fenix rigs for inshore and offshore yachts. It is varied in detail to suit all boat sizes from 9' inflatables to 70' three-masted schooners.

This rig represents the ultimate development by the Hasler Mcleod partnership.  Later developments have resulted in rigs that have much improved windward efficiency, but some cruising sailors still prefer this rig, valuing simplicity and low cost over ultimate windward performance.

A modern schooner rig, with 3 cambered panels and a transitional panel in each sail, and an extra batten in the heads of the sails to better support them in heavy weather.
