Quotes
Bill Dixon says of the Dixon 100: “Owners want lightweight rigging and we have been keeping close tabs on PBO. People were sceptical at first but after tremendous progress it is a workable product – the best way to save weight in a rig”.
Anders Burg – Bill Dixon Design:
“PBO rigging is obviously a current trend but there are many good reasons for using it. Certainly clients think this is where the market is going. They feel that if they are building a boat now and if they plan to sell the yacht in five years and it doesn’t have PBO it will be more difficult to sell. Its similar to when carbon spars came along, they started out as a rarity at the performance racing end of the market, then eventually carbon masts are on smaller boats and the feeling is why would you do anything else - PBO is in a similar situation.
