Steve Branagh the managing director of RSB states: 'Asahi’s main mast is 65m high, manufactured out of aluminium and weighs 22 Tons. This has been a huge project for both RSB Rigging Solutions and the STP yard in Palma de Mallorca as Asahi requires a 450 Ton crane to lift the rigs; at 80m, it is the biggest crane that has ever been used in the yard. Our riggers have been working very hard throughout the summer on a number of ongoing projects, with Asahi being one of our major summer rigging programs. It is with great pleasure that we complete the Asahi re-step and we are all proud to have been part of such an interesting and challenging project.'

A massive achievement for RSB and for yachting in Palma. A bit of RSB Rigging background...
