Assistance with Stepping & Unstepping of your Mast
Skip the annual mast stepping hassle. No more debates about spreader positioning or boat alignment. At The Rigging Shoppe, you just push the crane button while we handle the rest. We'll professionally step or unstep your mast, eliminating all the guesswork and frustration.
Let the experts handle it – you just enjoy the sailing.
Rig Tuning
Every mast needs proper tuning, whether you race or cruise. A twisted mast can cause permanent damage, accelerate sail wear, or lead to rigging failure in heavy weather. Proper tuning not only prevents these issues but also dramatically improves your boat's windward performance and balance.
Let us tune your rig and
teach you the basics – your boat will sail better than ever.
Deck Layout Consultation
“I don't want to walk up to the mast” or “this just doesn’t work right” – sound familiar? Our riggers have been solving these problems for decades. From race boats to cruisers, dinghies to sun shade systems, we've consulted on it all.
Pick our brains – let us help you solve that nagging rigging problem.
Halyard Replacement
When something makes you ask “does this look ok?” – it’s time to replace it. But losing a halyard inside the mast is worse. With compression posts, spreader bars, electrical harnesses, and occasional critter nests, mast interiors are complicated spaces.
Don't risk losing your halyard inside the mast – we can help.
Custom Sheave and Part Replacement
Winter maintenance season is here. With your mast down, inspect every component for wear and damage. Whether you have a custom mast or production model, we fabricate and replace sheaves, exit boxes, rivets, and specialty hardware to exact specifications.
Need a hard-to-find part?
We'll make it right.
On-Site Splicing
Did you know tying a knot—even a bowline—reduces line strength by 50%? Splices actually increase line strength. Whether you need jib sheets with soft shackles, tapered sheets and halyards, or tricky continuous line splices,
we’ve got the solution.
We offer custom splicing for unique rigging needs and can work on-site at your boat or in our shop.
Replace strength-robbing knots with professional splices.
