While staying at the famous bitingmidge's place I have had the chance to put together a rigging guide for the OZ PDRacers.

Coincidently the information there will help most people set up their sprit rig a lot more neatly and effectively.
Generally the problem with getting a boat to go well is twofold. One is that it has to be designed properly. The other is that the sails are set up correctly and all the other bits work effortlessly.
We took quite a few pictures and I've also gone through to comment on each photo.
By the way if you want to experiment with a lug rig on an OZ PDR you can find quite a lot of information about lug rigs here. The main way that page will be wrong for a PDR is that most of the rope sizes suggested will be too big. Just reduce them one size according to the chart that lists the rope diameters.
