Cape Yacht Rigging Service

After doing some repairs to the Spreaders on this 37 foot cruisers mast,and making a complete new set of standing rigging,the team had to transport the mast 150km to go and step the mast,and did we not have beautiful conditions to step!

The team has been busy at Cape Performance Sailing over the weekend with systems design for halyards and controls for the new Cape 26 launching soon. We did all the splicing for the halyard locks,bob stay as well as all the running rigging and control systems. Standby for more pictures after the launch.

How blessed are we with this weather in winter. Here the boys are doing pre-tune before we go and do sea trial. We replaced all the standing rigging on this Muira. We also serviced backstay tensioner as well as do some repairs to the furler system.
Stay tuned for updates when we go and so sea trial.

After a complete standing rigging replacement, we eventually had the ideal conditions to do a sea trial and do a final tune. Everything done and ready to go cruising.

Today we are making some new rigging for a St Francis 44. We will be replacing the rigging with the mast up and wind blowing 25knots,so it will be lots of fun. All the stays are made in house and we are using the new Apex rigging screws from Bluewave.

Standby for updates as we complete the replacement during today and tomorrow, followed by a sea trial by the weekend.

Mast service and complete standing rigging replacement of this 2012 Leopard 46 Owners Version. The mast built by Sparcraft Masts is still in very good condition structurally as well as cosmetically. All the rigging was manufactured in house,and shipped to the boat in France.

It was a pleasure to have been able to assist the new owner of Olleanna who will be competing in the 2026 Golden Globe Race in a few months time . We did some checks and tuned the mast for performance, but also for durability for the upcoming challenge.This boat will be competing for the 3rd time,having completed the previous edition with Jeremy Bagshaw. This was the replacement mast we beefed up with Sparcraft Masts, who built the mast for the previous competitor after being dismasted.

The team has been busy since we last posted:

•Completed the Swan43 re-rig (boat is safely in Cape Town)
•Made two complete deck and rope packs,including guard lines and installation on Cape 31 Hull 78 and 79 ( both competing in Europe currently)
•Complete standing Rigging Replacement on a Leopard 40
•Mast and components refurbished on a dragonfly D800 trimaran

The above is but a few of the projects we have been getting up to.

Stay tuned as we have many more exciting projects lined up.
