Standing Rigging Inspections, Maintenance and Replacement

Standing Rigging Inspections – One part of sailboats and yachts that must be inspected, maintained, or even replaced when necessary is the standing rigging. It is comprised of fixed lines, wires, or rods that are designed to support each mast or bowsprit on sailing vessels. These specific components likewise reinforce the spars against increased loads when wind interacts with the sails.

Standing Rigging Inspections

A Standing Rigging Inspection must be done first to check the condition of the standing rigging, as issues with the standing rigging if not fix correctly and quickly can result in the mast falling down. When conducting inspections, you can easily identify components that require repairs and replacements.

Normally, the replacement of standing rigging should be done every 10 years. Generally, insurance companies today require the standing rigging be replaced approximately every 7-10 years, depending on how often, or how far the yacht is sailed, they may require the rigging to be replaced earlier than 7 years. (Check with your insurance company, as policies may vary) Insurance companies also commonly request a professional rigging inspection and survey of the yacht when a used boat is sold or if a new policy is to be obtained. If the standing rigging is in excess of 7-10 years, most insurance companies will not insure the yachts rigging.

When carrying out standing rigging inspections, you must start at the masthead. Looking closely for any signs of corrosion, cracks, or breaks of any kind in the standing rigging (ei. In the wire, terminal ends, rod, toggles, pins, backing plates etc.) as you are slowly lowered down the mast. When we conduct rigging inspections, we check over all mast and sailing components, all the way down to the chainplates. Other components that must be checked for any damages or performance issues include swivels, back and forestay fittings, tang plates and toggle fittings, shrouds, swaged terminal ends, mainsail track, spreaders, turnbuckles, chainplates, blocks, running rigging, sheaves, and spars etc.

Riggtech recommends getting an annual professional rigging inspection to check over all sailing components to ensure smooth and precise sailing, regardless of the conditions you’ll face.

Maintenance

Whether you are a racer or cruiser, it is important to maintain your yacht. Here are some parts of rigging that need to be checked and ways on how to maintain them. You can do it yourself or if you don’t have the time, we can do it for you!

• Halyard Swivels : Oiling halyard swivels makes releasing clips or removing twists in rope easier and smoother. (Purchase Harken OneDrop from our online shop)
• Sail Tracks : To make hoisting and lowering sails easy and smooth, it is a good practice to spray the tracks or bolt rope with some lubricant, we recommend Harken Sailkote. It is a silicon spray that stays extremely slippery after it dries. Head to our online shop to purchase some!
• Furler Bearings : Greasing furler bearings is quick and easy and makes furling sails in and out a breeze. Make sure to drop the sail to grease the bearings in the swivel and in the drum.
• Sheaves : Sheaves in the mast, on the deck or in blocks should be oiled, so they run smoothly, preventing corrosion and seizure of the bearings or sheaves. (Purchase Harken OneDrop from our online shop)
• Split Pins and Split Rings : Checking split pins and split rings is important to prevent clevis pins from falling out and leading to catastrophic failures. Checking for sharp edges in these is also important to prevent the sail from catching and potentially ripping. We recommend using amalgamating tape, electrical tape or silicon for protection and prevention.

Replacement

The most efficient and cost-effective way to replace the standing rigging to a yacht is to remove the entire mast and rigging from the yacht. This way you can do all the stays at the same time, you can make the pairs the same lengths and it is also much easier to check over the whole mast and make any repairs and replacements where needed. At Riggtech we make sure we replace every standing rigging component from the top pins to the bottom pins, so there isn’t any weak link.

The alternative is replacing the standing rigging while the mast is in the boat, we do not recommend this, as you have to support the rig systematically as you de-tension, remove, make and replace individual stays to the mast. This is a very time-consuming process, because it involves a lot of mast climbing, making individual stays and tensioning and de-tensioning, it can also be extremely dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Components that have either corroded or have obtained huge cracks and damages should be replaced right away to avoid compromising the whole standing rigging. If you want to know more about its inspection, maintenance, and replacement, feel free to contact us at Riggtech .

News & Projects

After the Lockdown!

Melbourne's Corona Virus lockdown has made it hard to sail and even hard to get to our boats. But soon the lockdown will ease and we'll be able to sail again. What do you need to do to be ready to make the most of this summer?

Perhaps you need a new set of headsail sheets? Your main halyard might be reaching the end of its life? Perhaps a set of soft shackles for various tasks around the boat. Whatever the need, if you can supply us with measurements and dimensions we can fabricate the rigging so that when the lockdown is lifted, you're ready to go. Give us a call to get the ball rolling.

Continuous furling line

The requirement was to create a simple, removable way to lead a continuous furling line for a Karver KSF2. We used Nodus Factory "Textile Hook Friction" lashed to the stanchions with a simple Dyneema figure-8 lashing. It's simple, light, effective and removable.

Karver KSF2 Furler Retro-fit

The yankee on this Lyle Hess cutter was changed from a hank-on to a non-structural furler. Strops were used for the bowsprit attachment and a couple of friction rings and some stripped 8mm HMPE cordage created a 3:1 downhaul.

DYNEEMA RIGGING Q&A PETER GREIG

Peter Greig has been a rigger for over 40 years – originally from Melbourne, Peter moved to Port Douglas in 1989, and continued rigging in the lovely Queensland seaside port ever since.

Known around australia for his incredible splicing skills, pete has been quietly using textile rigging since 2000, not only on yachts but also on communication aerials in png., his convictions are so strong that we thought he would be the perfect man to ask a few questions and learn more about the process:, textile rigging is perceived as the “go to” for racing boats. do you see these textile rigs being standard for cruising production boats in the future and do you think it is reliable enough for the cruising market, i am on my 80 th job with dyneema…only three of those are racing boats yes it is absolutely reliable for the cruising market, in 17 years i have not seen a single failure. i have five cruising furlers i have done in the last three years which are retrofitted with dyneema forestays. the market is cruising boats, however more and more racing boats are attracted to the benefits of dyneema., what are the main advantages and disadvantages of textile rigging in your opinion, light weight, longevity, easy to work with, comparable to the price of wire. nothing i have come across is a disadvantage. there has not been any recording of failure in 20 years. maintenance is non-existent, nothing appears to affect dyneema., as a rigger what did you need to learn to adapt your knowledge from wire rigging to textile and fiber rigging, not much – splicing was part of my training so i only had to adapt to the construction of dyneema and it was easy. i guess it is important to keep in close contact with the manufacturers so you are following their criteria., do you think the industry – and the various suppliers you work with – has enough fittings available for textile rigging or is there still room to improve, some of the manufacturers are slowing changing over to fittings we can retrofit to existing masts. there is no job that cannot have dyneema fitted to it. you can cover just about every combination. there is always room for improvement and i know that there are more fittings in developement, however in most cases every mast can be retrofitted., what are your favourite types of products when it comes down to choosing the right fittings for textile rigging, friction rings of course, soft blocks, and also soft shackles., what do insurance companies say about textile rigging, insurance companies are accepting dyneema rigging. it has been around for 20 years and there is no recorded failure anywhere in the world from professionally done splicing. however stainless steel cases have a huge amount of claims, what are the potential risks boat owners should be aware of when going blue water sailing, dyneema rigging potentially will outlast stainless steel. only severe chafing from something very sharp could affect it, but the same way it would affect wire anyway. i have recently worked on a boat that i rigged 15 years ago and which has done 6000 miles in that time – there was absolutely no deterioration visible., related posts.
