ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for laterally bracing and/or suspending outboard rigging from the sides of floating vessels and the like. The outrigging apparatus comprises a spar with a padded end at its base and an outer end that includes a bore for reeving the outboard rigging, especially roll-dampening devices. The spar sets mainly below the rail of the vessel and is supported by a harness which provides the spar stability on the hull-side of the vessel, where it extends perpendicular to the hull-side, and at some inclination from the base. When a load is applied to the outboard end of the spar it is balanced statically between tensions in the harness and compression along the spar. The basal pad mitigates the resultant pressure on the hull where it contacts the topside. Only two existing attachment sites are required onboard the vessel, one to each side of the extended spar. Whereas the spar is not permanently attached to the vessels' side, it is quickly and universally deployable.
