This Albin Express 26 page brings the main rigging-planning information together so an owner can move from an early estimate to a checked specification. The kicker recommendation is presented as a separate equipment option, allowing it to be considered during the refit without treating it as part of the standing-rigging set. A previous owner may have changed the furler, turnbuckles or mast hardware without altering the overall rig plan, so those details should be recorded before a new set is ordered. If the old rigging is available, copying the original stay set after checking its condition and dimensions is usually more dependable than manufacturing solely from a model-based schedule.
