A rigging system for a mono-hull, catamaran or tri-maran sailing boat wherein the leading edge of mainsail (14) is attached to a tensioned sail support wire (11) suspended from apex (10) of a tripod frame (7, 8, 9) mounted on the hull (1, 2). The wire (11) is anchored at (19) to the boat and tensioned by means (13) to be substantially vertical relative thereto. The boom (12) is attached intermediate its ends to the support wire (11) intermediate its ends so as to pivot about said wire (11) and provide a rotating boom, the mainsail (14) and foresail (15) being attached to said boom. An A-frame (30, 31) or single inclined spar (36) can be used instead of the tripod (7, 8, 9) to support the sails.
