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.

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.

Sometimes it is this reaction that makes this work all the more enjoyable. We replaced the forestay and water stays after finding some broken strands on this Catana 47 over the christmas period,and we also assisted them with some other mast work.
