The standing rigging plays a fundamental role in the safety, reliability, and performance of your sailing boat. Too often overlooked, it is actually the backbone of your mast. Well-inspected and properly adjusted rigging means safer sailing, a more stable boat, and sails working at their best.

At Sailhero, we put our expertise at the service of your sailboat to ensure secure, high-performing rigging that complies with manufacturers’ standards.

Why inspecting your standing rigging?

Over time, stainless steel wire can loosen, degrade, or develop weaknesses. Anchors, terminals, turnbuckles, crimps, chainplates, and end fittings are all critical points that may compromise the mast’s integrity.

Here’s why regular inspection is essential:

• Crew and boat safety

• Prevention of dismasting at sea

• Improved performance

• Extended rigging lifespan

• Compliance during transactions or surveys
