What (who) is B&R rig - definition
B&R rig
A VARIANT OF THE BERMUDA SAILBOAT RIG
B and R rig; Bergstrom & Ridder rig; User:Sdavern/sandbox; Draft:B&R Rig; B&R Rig; B&R rigged
The B&R rig is a variant of the Bermuda sailboat rig, designed and patented by Swedish aeronautical engineers Lars Bergström and Sven Ridder. It employs swept spreaders that are usually angled aft, together with "stays" running diagonally downward from the tip of the spreaders to the attachment of the next pair of spreaders to the mast or to the intersection of the mast with the deck (so-called reverse-diagonal shrouds) that facilitates a pre-bend of the mast (curving aft) that is sometimes tuned into the rig before it is stepped onto the boat.

CONFIGURATION OF MAST AND RIGGING FOR A TYPE OF SAILBOAT
Bermuda sail; Marconi sloop; Marconi rig; Bermudian rig; Bermuda rigged; Bermudan rig; Bermuda-rigged; Marconi rigged
A Bermuda rig, Bermudian rig, or Marconi rig is a configuration of mast and rigging for a type of sailboat and is the typical configuration for most modern sailboats. This configuration was developed in Bermuda in the 1600s; the term Marconi, a reference to the inventor of the radio, Guglielmo Marconi, became associated with this configuration in the early 1900s because the wires that stabilize the mast of a Bermuda rig reminded observers of the wires on early radio masts.
