A New Rig For Ships And Other Vessels: Combining Economy, Safety And Convenience is a book written by Robert Bennet Forbes in 1851. The book presents a new rigging system for ships and other vessels that promises to improve their efficiency, safety, and convenience. Forbes argues that the traditional rigging systems used in ships were outdated and inefficient, and that his new system would revolutionize the industry.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explains a different aspect of the new rigging system. Forbes begins by describing the problems with the traditional rigging systems, such as the difficulty of handling large sails, the danger of capsizing in rough seas, and the high cost of maintenance. He then introduces his new rigging system, which uses smaller sails that are easier to handle and can be adjusted more quickly to changing weather conditions.Forbes also discusses the safety benefits of his new rigging system, such as the reduced risk of capsizing and the ability to sail closer to shore. He also explains how the new system can save money on fuel and maintenance costs, making it more economical for ship owners.Overall, A New Rig For Ships And Other Vessels: Combining Economy, Safety And Convenience is a groundbreaking book that offers a new perspective on ship rigging systems. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of shipbuilding and maritime technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
