==Fore-and-aft rigged vessels== Most fore-and-aft rigged vessels have the following types of standing rigging: a [[forestay]], a [[backstay]], and upper and lower [[Shroud (sailing)|shrouds]] (side stays). Less common rigging configurations are diamond stays and jumpers. Both of these are used to keep a thin mast in column especially under the load of a large down wind sail or in strong wind. Rigging parts include [[swageless terminal]]s, [[swage terminal]]s, shackle toggle terminals and fail-safe wire rigging insulators.<ref name = Skipper/>
