Rig and Rigging

The objective of the rig design on a Paradise 60 is ease of handling for two people. The mast is carbon fiber made by Hall Spars & Rigging, incorporating three spreaders swept back 21 degrees, rod rigging, Leisure Furl boom and hydraulic power furling.

The Paradise 60 has been designed to be easily driven by a moderately short rig with a small fore triangle and a full batten main. Chain plates are outboard at hull sides with the lower shrouds placed inboard. This gives a clear side deck from bow to stern. The inner forestay is Kevlar with a removable hydraulic trimmer. There is a Reckmann RF. 90 hydraulic Genoa furler.

No traveler is used on the Paradise 60 design. Sail shape is controlled by the hydraulic vang. The main is sheeted to what we call a roll bar. The roll bar incorporates the main sheet, sailing instruments, cockpit lights, engine ventilation and bimini top, as well as a great place for handrails.
