Lateral rigging D4 D3 V3 > Jumper arrangement This type of arrangement is designed for fractionally rigged yachts. The jumper struts are normally angled forward. The jumper arrangement stays the top mast, not only athwartships but also fore-and-aft. The use of jumper struts enables the top mast to be given a more slender taper. A jumper arrangement might be necessary when using a masthead gennaker/spinnaker or for stabilising the top of the mainsail.
Linked rigging.
