Description
Caupona was built to the amended Andrillot drawings, redrawn for the construction of Monie, and was therefore rigged accordingly. She has the usual classic pre-war Giles version of a masthead bermudan sloop with two pairs of spreaders and an inner forestay. This is tensioned with running backstays, whilst a single standing backstay is taken to a single, quite light, bumkin.
