Ahh
HI again,
First, lose the aft-led intermediates, making them runners instead. Next, I wonder why people so often refer to riggers as "professional riggers". You never hear about professional doctors, professional CEO's or professional plumbers. Is there a vast army of amateur riggers out there, that we need to distinguish ourselves from? Or is it that there is something unlikely about someone actually getting paid to do rigging?
This matter has bothered me for many years. At the end of the most recent article I did for Sail Magazine, the editors described me as a professional rigger in the bio. Like there was a question? Like maybe people would otherwise assume that I was an independently wealthy philanthropist who merely dabbled in rigging? Get back to me on this, will you?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
