| Sailboat assembly |
We can assemble almost any sailboat brought to us. If too many of the
original parts of an out-of-production boat are missing, this may not
be possible. We will be able to give you the knowledge to make the best
decision at that time. If assembly is possible we can then note and recommend
any necessary upgrades or repairs to make your boat fully functional.
|
| Custom rigging and systems |
Running rigging: Following the guidelines of class rules (if available)
we have designed systems that make sailing boats easier. Many times a
rigging system developed for one class will transfer to another class
wih little modification. We can help you determine what is appropriate
and what is not.
|
| Standing rigging: If you have built a
kit boat and need custom wires for it we can build them for you. We shorten
wires, replace masts/booms, add or remove furlers, etc. |

to have the existing wire in hand for duplication. Send UPS or drop
off. We can also engineer your wires from scratch. |
