Standing Rigging San Diego

Wire, Rod & Composite Standing Rigging for Every Boat.

The technology of standing rigging is advancing fast. While wire is still the mainstay for most cruisers and rod the most predominant for the racing community, composite fibers are becoming the norm at the grand prix level, with boats like Pyewacket running PBO rigging and Genuine Risk sporting a new set of Carbon Rods.

Regardless of whether you own a traditional sailboat, offshore cruiser, club racer, or grand prix racer, Rigworks is ready to help. With over two decades of experience, easy ordering, guaranteed quality, and fast knowledgeable service, sailors and captains around the world turn to us for their rigging needs.

Wire Rigging

The proven standard for most cruising and club racing sailboats. Available in 1×19, 7×19, and Dyform compacted wire. 304 or 316 stainless steel.

Rod Rigging

The performance choice for racing. Nitronic 50 rod offers lower stretch and better fatigue life than wire at comparable diameters.

Composite Rigging

PBO, carbon fiber rod, and Dyneema composites for grand prix racing. Dramatically lighter and stiffer than wire or rod, and the future of high-performance sailing.
