About Brion Toss
Master rigger Brion Toss, 69, died June 6, 2020 in Port Townsend, Washington. Toss spent much of his life aloft, rigging everything from small sloops to massive square-riggers. But he was also a master wit, so good with words that the boisterously funny National Public Radio game show “Says You,” which he supplied with regular bon mots, held a tribute to him.
“His teachings, books, and videos were not just the obvious gifts to anyone who learned from them, or just gifts to the craft of rigging and the self-sufficiency of sailors, they were a shout-out to the world. They enhanced all of our collective marine trades’ reputation and brought renown to Port Townsend. They put us on the map in a way that showed this place really honors craft and the value of work for the sake of what it can bring to the world instead of what it can bring to us individually.” — Sailmaker Carol Hasse
Toss could come down to your small sailboat and tie a good luck knot for your voyage, or he could completely rerig ships of any size (the U.S. Coast Guard used his seminars), and his famously accessible explanations made sure everyone understood. He was as interested in sailing newbies as he was in circumnavigators.
From its initial publication, The Complete Rigger’s Apprentice by master rigger, Brion Toss has been the definitive go-to resource for weekend sailors and maritime professionals who want to master the fine art of rigging.
