Rig Checks are essential in maintaining healthy performance from your rig. Rig checks are comprehensive assessments which include a visual inspection of all you rigging and are accompanied by a full maintenance report with supporting photos and recommendations.

Rig Checks can be conducted as part of a pre-purchase survey or to satisfy your insurance company.

Some rigging components will take on more strain than others during their working life. For example, your chainplates may not have been checked since the boat was launched and failure could be catastrophic. Furling systems are another common part of your yachts’ rigging that need to operate smoothly. It is often very difficult to notice signs of stress but with a trained eye we can spot this and avert a potential mishap.

Ruel Rigging recommends that you have a full rig check completed every year and depending on the intended use of your yacht.
