Wishbone rig
Type of sailboat rigging
A wishbone rig, sometimes also known as fishbone ketch, is a type of rigging on sailboats.[1] This rigging is most popular on heavy two-masted vessels. The rig gets its name from the wishbone, a V- or Y-shaped bone similar to the rig's gaff. A ketch rigged in this fashion is called wishbone ketch. Examples of wishbone-rigged boats include the Zawisza Czarny and the Norda.
