A beautiful day in Friendship, Maryland Click the image for a better view! We went aloft on this completely re-rigged Beneteau 411 to cover tang holes. The birds were making their way-in and building a nest. Who wouldn’t, those are some big holes that make a great front door. “Come on in” We used black…
Another one of our FREE safety inspections takes us aloft in Arnold, MD I love this shot, it says Chesapeake summer is not far away. This was a Beneteau Yachts about 8 or 9 years old. No real issues up here, just the running rigging needs a redo which is very typical for line of…
This was form last week and it was a gorgeous spring day! We conducted an aloft inspection and re-tape. I have no idea what the red blurry thing is. A J 105 with a Leisure Furl!? Yes……yes it is. Black dog Teddy on the dock. I wish he could convince the other one that docks…
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.

You can see clearly below that in order to remove the mast head sheaves the entire mast head needs to be un-bolted and removed. The sheave pins are hidden inside the mast wall. Slick, but…
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…
Today was a HOT one! We went aloft to see if this boat can accept an all rope jib halyard. As you can see, it is not the sheave that is the problem but rather space between the head-stay and sheave, it is simply too tight to fit anything other than wire. Other than the…
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…
