Running Rigging.
Whatever your cordage needs are: halyards, sheets, control lines, steering cables, dock lines, you name it, we can supply. Whether your boat is a grand prix racer, club racer, one design, blue water cruiser or just a plain old fun sailboat, we have the expertise to give you what you need. From PBO to polyester, we have handled it and can splice it.

The development of materials used on boats during the last fifteen years has been very exciting. Some of the biggest of these developments have been made in the fibers used in ropes (lines) and sails. Lines made of polyester are still the favored choice for most cruising boats, and we rarely see wire/ rope halyards on any boat any more. Line constructed from Spectra, Technora, Vectran, Dyneema SK 65, SK75, SK78, SK90 and PBO keep pushing the envelope, producing stronger running rigging that has less stretch . This has enabled us to provide you with lines that are smaller in diameter with less stretch. This results in a healthy weight saving aloft, which improves the boat's initial stability. The reduction in stretch is essential in controlling sail shapes in today's sails. We can help ensure you get the correct line for job!

If you would like a free estimate on supplying you with some lines please complete the form on the quote request form page. . Although we have a huge data base of boats we have found it best to gather the necessary information in this way, to ensure accuracy and customer satisfaction!
