Wishbone rig

[1] This rigging is most popular on heavy two-masted vessels.

Examples of wishbone-rigged boats include the Zawisza Czarny and the Norda.

A wishbone ketch rigged vessel is a vessel that is rigged as a ketch where a permanent splitting gaff is mounted between two masts.

The gaff is typically fixed on the first mast (the one closer to the front) and fixed via a line to the aftmost mast.

These lines allow the sail to be trimmed to suit the wind.

Example of wishbone ketch on S/Y Norda . Note that the gaff is fixed on the first mast and that it has one leg on both sides of the sail.
