Combating Florida's Harsh Marine Environment
Any old salt knows that the intense UV rays and high salinity of the Fort Myers area are brutal on sailboat rigging. UV degradation quickly weakens synthetic lines, while the salty air accelerates corrosion on stainless steel fittings and turnbuckles. We specialize in identifying these hidden dangers before they result in a catastrophic failure while you're out on the water.
Don't wait until you're dismasted to realize your rigging was compromised. Our thorough inspections and high-quality replacement parts from brands like Harken, Seldén, and Lewmar ensure your rig can withstand the demands of Southwest Florida sailing.

Precision Tuning for Optimal Performance
A poorly tuned rig not only hampers your boat's performance but also puts unnecessary stress on the mast and hull. Whether you're a casual cruiser navigating the Caloosahatchee or a competitive racer, proper rig tension is vital. Our expert riggers use precision tension gauges to perfectly balance your shrouds and stays, optimizing sail shape and helm balance.
We handle everything from simple turnbuckle adjustments to complete rig replacements. We work with top-tier equipment from Profurl, Wichard, and Sparcraft to guarantee reliability and smooth operation every time you hoist the sails.
Comprehensive Running Rigging Solutions
Your running rigging is the nervous system of your sailboat. Stiff, chafed, or oversized lines make sail handling difficult and dangerous. We offer custom splicing and line replacement services using modern, low-stretch fibers tailored to your specific sailing style. From upgrading your mainsheet system with Schaefer blocks to installing a new Facnor or Karver continuous line furler, we ensure your deck layout is efficient and easy to manage, so you can focus on enjoying the breeze instead of fighting with your gear.
