Rigging

The Wild Cat's running and standing rigging are well designed and detailed in three pages of the assembly manual. The drawings are clear and I didn't have any problems translating them into reality. I am providing here photographs of the rigging as built. The forestay, backstay, and shrouds are of piano wire, secured by fishing sleeves.
