……is back again. This year, just to mix things up a bit, the Powerboat Show will be up first, starting tomorrow October 3-6. Make sure you visit us at our booth (Tent O-13) next week at the Sailboat Show which will begin on the 10th through the 14th. Also you can see our ad in this month’s…
The Rigging Company aloft to install a digital apparent wind instrument. An Osprey made its nest on top of it and broke the cheaply made mounting plate right off. The view of a Bristol 43, nice boat! Any guesses as to where we are? Thanks for having a look at the view.
We went aloft for a safety inspection after this beautiful Cabo Rico experienced a lightening strike. You can see below that the brunt of the lightening strike was taken by the VHF antenna. Pictured below you will see two head-swivels on a set of Profurl headsail furlers. One with correct hoist and one…
A beautiful tucked away spot in one of Annapolis’ many waterfront hiding spots. Any guesses where this might be? (click the image for a larger view) We conducted a rigging survey on a Catalina 36. Look there is my puppy dog Sidney, wondering ‘what in god’s green earth’ am I doing up there. ……and hey there’s Sean, Hi Sean ;-0)…
German engineering is at it again, Bavaria Yachts is all new and looking good. Bavaria Yachts are being built (and have always been built, since 1978) just minutes away from my hometown Wurzburg, Germany in a small township called Giebelstadt. Although being completely land locked, the company boasts of being one of the largest production yacht building…

…. from The Rigging Company.
Ahhh a beautiful day to begin the Spring. Aloft in Maryland’s Capital, with a great view of the Chesapeake Bay, the U.S. Naval Academy and downtown Annapolis. Today makes me look forward to some spring sailing, a good steady moderate breeze with flat water. Just how we like it on the bay. Today’s trip was for a mast and…
Spring is right around the corner, although there have been a few days that have had us feeling like spring is already here. This amazing winter has moved some people to start preparing earlier rather than later. Not only does one need to prepare the boat and de-winterize the engine, but we shouldn’t forget about…
Well it has certainly been a while, but today’s excellent weather prompted another segment of “Views From Aloft”. This being the first climb of the year, all things considered, went pretty well. Sean and I argued a bit about who would get to ‘go up’ and how it just isn’t safe to send someone my size up…
….is well underway! Check out at FARR Yacht Design right here Annapolis, MD U.S.A., as they figure out how to make this new OD VOR 65 class come together. The hulls are actually being built in France and the decks in Italy. I can’t wait to see these things on the water……. Expect more videos…
