Not sure what "solid rigging" means. Is it rod rigging? or s/s 1x19? What size wire? Re-rigged for the voyage Norway to Tahiti?

Thank you.

Hi, Ann.
By solid rigging is meant s/s 19 8mm, and also that the rigging is constructed to handle a lot of heavy weather.

All stays were changed before we left Norway, in June 2017. Ropes for halyards have been changed too, except for the one lifting the boom.

Best, Inga
