……….and Team USA is barely keeping up with Emirates Team New Zealand. The American team finally pulled off their first victory in yesterday’s last race. The Oracle sponsored team is going to have to maintain this trend for a while in order to stay “in-the-swing-of-things”. The current score is 3 to -1, New Zealand. Each…
There are sailboat riggers, sailboat rigging apprentices, and then there are master riggers. At what point do you achieve master status? Well it is all a matter of who is handing out these titles, I guess. Regardless of who is handing out titles, after 20 years of practicing any one skill or trade, you have become…
Team Donfeng Racing has made it to ItajaÃ! Incredibly the mast arrived all the way from Dubai around the same time. Since Ushuaia, most of the race team has been replaced by shore crew for the delivery to Brazil. This allowed the regular crew the opportunity for some much needed rest and the shore crew the opportunity…
Before stepping the mast there needs to be several preparations in order for everything to go smoothly once the crane arrives. So take your time and double, triple check everything in order to keep from having to go aloft, or worse, having to re-step the mast once the mast has been stepped. Below you’ll see a few…
Enjoy this well made vid, filled with fun facts and some stunning footage about the NEW Americas Cup. It is really cool to see all of these countries evenly matched and competing at a top level. I really liked the tid-bit about there being a hundred fold more spectators than even just last year. It…
It is the end of the sailing season here and quite possibly the last ‘Views From Aloft’ for 2013. Any guesses where this might be? This was about 1 month ago. Mild weather days like this one are getting harder and harder to come by. Ranger 30, a slick little old school ride. Long live…

I have an 1981 J30. Do you sell an improved system for the spreader brackets which are rivited to the mast. The rivits tend to loosen over time causing mast failure. I read an article where you made a recomendation to reslove the problem.

Hi Don,
Thanks for commenting. Do you have the newer Hall spar or the Older Kenyon. If it is a Kenyon my competitor Annapolis Rigging makes and sells them. If it is a Hall Spar call them directly. Annapolis Rigging can be hard to get a hold of. We are right next door so let me know if you want me to bug them for you it is not a problem.
Thanks Again!
