spectra rigging

[Phil Dory]

New to the forum.

I plan to rig a sailboat I just built, a 21 foot Welsford Penguin. It will be gaff rigged and has a 20 foot wooden mast. The mast is in a tabernacle and 'folds' down when trailered.

Could someone direct me to a site or book on rigging with a synthetic ropes like Spectra, Dynema?

Thanks, Phil
