Figure 6-12. The rigging plan for a Hinckley
Bermuda 40 Mark III yawl. Mainmast shrouds are
shown on the left, mizzen shrouds, on the right.
Because the fore-and-aft angle of a shroud does not
show up on a rigging plan, shrouds scaled from one
will be too short.

Figure 6-13. To obtain a base length when a house
or other obstacle intrudes, measure straight out,
make a 90-degree turn, and measure straight to the
chainplate. The square root of the sum of the squares
of these two lengths is the desired base length.

Figure 6-14. When the mast is stepped through the
house, find the height of mast collar above chainplate
by measuring horizontally out to a plumb-bob line
at the chainplate (assuming the vessel is level in both
planes). Proceed as in Figure 6-13.
