Sailboat Rigging FAQ

How often should sailboat rigging be inspected?
We recommend annual rigging inspections for actively sailed boats and every 2-3 years for cruising sailboats. Standing rigging should be replaced every 10-15 years depending on usage, UV exposure, and material. In Southwest Florida's harsh UV and salt environment, more frequent inspections are advisable. Call for inspection pricing. Includes a detailed written report.
What does a rigging inspection include?
Our rigging inspection covers all standing rigging (shrouds, stays, forestay, backstay), chainplates, turnbuckles, swage fittings, toggle pins, cotter pins, spreaders, mast hardware, running rigging condition, furling system operation, winch function, and all deck hardware. We provide a written report with photos and prioritized recommendations.
Do you replace standing rigging?
Yes, we handle complete standing rigging replacement including measurement, fabrication coordination, removal of old rigging, installation, and tuning. We work with 1x19 stainless steel wire, Dyneema synthetic rigging, rod rigging, and all standard materials. We also replace individual components like swage fittings, turnbuckles, and chainplates.
What furling systems do you carry and service?
We carry and service Profurl, Harken, Seldén, Schaefer, Karver, and other major furling system brands. Services include bearing replacement, drum service, foil straightening, halyard swivel service, and complete system replacement. We also install new furling systems on boats that don't have them.
What rigging hardware brands do you carry?
We carry Wichard (shackles, turnbuckles, snap hooks), Lewmar (winches, blocks, deck hardware), Forespar (spinnaker poles, whisker poles), Sparcraft (masts, booms, spars), and a full range of stainless steel rigging fittings and terminals.
Can you do a Coast Guard rigging inspection?
Yes, our rigging inspections meet Coast Guard standards and are suitable for compliance documentation. We inspect all safety-critical rigging components and provide a detailed written report. This is especially important for charter vessels and commercially operated sailboats.
Is my rigging safe for an offshore passage to the Bahamas?
That's exactly the question a rigging inspection answers. Before any offshore crossing, we check every fitting, swage, turnbuckle, chainplate, and piece of standing rigging for corrosion, fatigue, and wear. We also inspect the furling system, mast hardware, and running rigging. Spring is peak prep season for Bahamas crossings from SWFL — we recommend scheduling your inspection at least 2-3 weeks before departure to allow time for any repairs or replacements.
What are the signs my standing rigging needs replacement?
Look for broken wire strands ('meat hooks'), rust staining or discoloration on swage fittings, cracks in turnbuckle bodies, elongated or deformed clevis pins, and any looseness in chainplate bolts. In Southwest Florida's UV and salt environment, stainless steel rigging degrades faster than in northern waters. If your rigging is over 10 years old and hasn't been inspected recently, schedule one before your next sail.
