The Marlow-Hunter 40 has a Bergstrom & Ridder rig, a furling 130% genoa, and a Selden in-mast furling mainsail. The B&R rig eliminates the need for a backstay. It employs swept spreaders that are 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 that facilitates a pre-bend of the mast.
