Riggers at Work
It might be raining like crazy in San Diego this week, but our riggers are still hard at work. Stuck in the shop, they are splicing line and working on running rigging.

2015 was a busy year at Rigworks. One of our favorite projects was the retrofit of Gunboat ‘Chim Chim’. Work included Southern Spars K49 standing rigging, a Karver top down spinnaker furler, new running rigging, and a variety of deck hardware including Harken electric winches. Isn’t she a beauty!
Replace your wire lifelines with Dyneema lifelines from New England Ropes. Dyneema is lighter and stronger than wire, has excellent UV resistance and is easier on the hands. Call for details and pricing!
Our team at Rigworks has just finished the installation of this Facnor Flat Deck Furler. The low profile mechanism offers a longer luff to optimize sail area while offering strong furling power. Call us at 619-223-3788 for more information.
Check out the custom furling line leads that we created for the Gunboat 62 ‘Chim Chim’. Made from Antal low friction rings and 1/4″ Spectra line with Spectra whipping, this is just one sample of the custom work we do here at Rigworks, Inc.
