Old furling gear we’re replacing
Springtime is a busy time!
Sometimes we get asked how we can so quickly find a solution to a sailboat rigging problem. The short answer? It simply comes down to experience.
Our many years of addressing all kinds of issues requiring repair or replacement of components, as well as a complete understanding of how sailing rigs should be set up and maintained means that solving these problems is like second nature to us! However, we also work with great suppliers and subcontractors who help us complete projects quickly and efficiently.
Below is our task list for the next week or so, it’s definitely a busy time!
