As specialists in yacht running rigging and custom splicing, we know that the right lines, built to exact specifications, can make all the difference on board. But getting those lines right starts long before the first splice is made: it begins with clear, detailed information from the boat, including rigging specs.
When ordering new sheets, halyards, or custom rigging, providing your rigging team with precise specs is crucial. Here’s why:
1. Avoid Delays With Correct Rigging Specs:
Missing or unclear details (like length, diameter, core type, cover material, or end terminations) can lead to back-and-forth questions, production holdups, or even costly mistakes. The more info we have up front, the faster your lines are fabricated and delivered.
2. Get the Right Performance:
Every yacht and sailing style is different. Are you racing or cruising? Do you need lightweight, low-stretch Dyneema, or a more abrasion-resistant polyester blend? When you provide clear specs, our team can recommend the most suitable lines for your specific application, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
3. Safety First:
Supplying the correct specifications isn’t just about convenience; it’s critical for safety. The right line, with the correct strength, construction, and termination, is essential for reliable operation and peace of mind on the water.
4. Correct Rigging Specs = Perfect Fit, First Time:
Precise measurements and termination details (eye splices, shackles, whippings, etc.) ensure your new lines fit perfectly-no last-minute adjustments or compromises on safety and reliability.
5. Cost Efficiency:
Accurate information means less risk of rework or wasted material, keeping your project on time and on budget.
A little extra detail at the start means a lot less hassle later. If you’re unsure what you need, we’re always happy to advise-just ask! With the right information, RSB will always deliver your running rigging on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.
