Rigging Hardware
Life Lines
We construct lifelines from vinyl coated 7x7 stainless steel wire. On boats that must meet ORC regulations, we use uncovered 1x19 stainless steel type 316 wire. All the end fittings are Type 316 stainless and are produced under exacting quality standards.
Standard Rigging
1x19 Stainless Steel Type 316 (low corrosion) wire is used to construct standing rigging. It is swaged to marine eyes, aircraft eyes, turnbuckles, T-balls, stemballs, toggle forks, aircraft forks and other terminal ends. Swageless fittings from Hi Mod, Blue Wave, StaLoc, Norseman and QuickAttach are also used to terminate wire.
Running Rigging
Halyards are constructed in our rigging shop. We use a variety of high tech fibers using standard construction methods and some special methods that we have developed in-house. Halyards are designed according to your sailing style. As a result, we use many high tech fibers for both racers and cruisers. The types of fibers we use include Zylon (PBO), Vectran, Technora, Dyneema, Spectra, Dyneema and Polyester. Our riggers are racers and they have many years of experience.
