Are we showing off? Yes.
We're loving our new splicing bench - the latest innovation in our continuous improvement programme.

Weighing in at a massive 48' long it'll be a massive boon for our riggers to get the job done quickly, professionally and cleanly - once they've done a bit of dusting!

Our bronze and brass hardware has captured a lot of attention lately! It's not something we keep a massive stock of as those Classic Old Ladies tend to require very specific, not "off the rack" items.

However, if you want it, we'll find it. cowls, light fittings, fixtures and most recently, these gorgeous bronze piston hanks. Having bronze hanks makes a lot of sense for any age yacht as the softer metal does not create wear and tear on your stays as stainless fittings may.

Can't find what your heart desires? Give us a call!

Ropetek Rigging looks after the rigging for the three sail equipped RealNZ boats - the Fiordland Navigator, the Milford Mariner, and the Milford Wanderer. These boats operate in Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, and Stewart Island with day trips and overnight trips that provide an experience of a lifetime for both tourists and Kiwis alike.

We perform inspection and maintenance of these systems during scheduled winter surveys every year during the "off" season.

RopeTek Rigging is proud to be the chosen rigging specialists for such an iconic NZ venture - having provided this service for more than 20 years.

Not the worst way to start a day. While we've been getting pummelled by rain here in "sunny" Nelson our team have been down in Bluff for an annual maintenance schedule with Real Journeys
