The Rig

Golden Vanity is rigged now just as she was when she was launched early last century. She has a 'Gaff Cutter' rig. 'Gaff' indicates that the Main sail is hoisted using a 'gaff', a spar attached to their upper side. 'Cutter' indicates that there is more than one headsail, making each sail easier to handle by a small crew. It is a very versatile and powerful rig, easy to handle in light airs and strong winds.
