DIY boat rigging to save money! This week is all about replacing our Passport 42’s standing rigging. In case you don’t know what that is, its all of the stainless steel wire cables that hold up our mast and a is very important part of a sailboat. We found a crack in a deck level fitting. This prompted making an appointment with the local professional rigger, who suggested he do a thorough rig inspection. While the aluminum mast and fittings are thankfully in good shape, he found too many questionable areas on the wire cables themselves and the fittings that were on the ends of them.
So now, the moment has finally arrived. Our new rigging has been delivered. Don't look down!

Fantastic, a huge shoutout to Steve for his knowledge and help with this very difficult project. Great explanation and filming during the process.

Amazing how many South African riggers you find all over the world.

Steve is the first we've met! I can imagine we will meet another at some point

Just a suggestion, when using tools that high find a way to attach a short hand lanyard to your tool in case it slips out of your hand. Avoid the hole that tool will make dropping from that height. After using tool place back into your tool bag slipping off the hand lanyard.

That is a good suggestion! Thanks for the comment 😊

Fantastic video of DYI of shroud replacement! And wonderful help and advice from your dock neighbors too!

Honestly there's only so much you can "service" anyway. In terms of seal or no seal, the industry changes their mind on this every few years or so. So depending on who you talk to, and who they got their advice from, they will tell you different things. Sealing either keeps rust out or "locks water in". I can see both points. Good job just going with what the manufacturer says to do. That's exactly what you should be doing.

Next time, put reusable fittings (I prefer Hi-Mod, they are better looking and just as strong) on the tops. That way you don't have to pay a rigger to put on swaged fittings. You can do the entire replacement in the future on your own anywhere, anytime. Also, the sealant in the fittings blocks out oxygen which contributes to corrosion with stainless, it needs to be exposed to oxygen. Most corrosion with stainless occurs where it isn't exposed to oxygen. Put a toggle between the top fitting and the tangs to allow the cable to pivot and eliminate the cable kinking at the junction of the swaged fitting.

Now that was a different day. Steve was awesome, thanks for sharing.

Great video, very informative and now you can sail with confidence in your rig. Cheers from Austin, TX

One of our insurance markets requires the standing rigging be replaced every 10 years! However, that is a market of ours that allows for international travel through the Indian Ocean to the South Pacific and whatnot so they're going to be more finicky than others, naturally!

Great episode. Glad for Steve’s knowledge. Those Clevis pins looked nasty!!

@donlindell1994 8 месяцев назад

Really great work, especially while capturing everything on film. I probably would have replaced a few more components, but I won’t argue with your choices. It sure came out nice

Reminds me of when we removed the flight control cables from my 10,000 hour Piper Warrior. Their condition was… alarming. 😂

You guys make me wish I could be young again, or at least find someone like Katie to make me feel young lol. All my good vibes to you today.

Great job guys! A comment regarding tension of your rig, duplicating the previous tension may not be the best choice. It is advised that stainless wire be tensioned to 10% of its breaking strength. So the ideal method would be establishing the trim of your mast ie. rake and plumb or duplicating the previous trim if it is satisfactory then tensioning to the correct value for your cable diameter. I have Staylocks on my rigging (both top and bottom) and I never considered NOT using sealant. That is what pro riggers had done on my boat in the past and I just continued. I didn't read Staylock's instructions so thanks for bringing this important error to my attention. Thanks, Ben S/V DAWN

@SailingSeawind 8 месяцев назад

Hey Ben! Yes actually I consulted Steve in the end because after he mentioned in the rigging part 1 episode that they could have more tension on them, we started from scratch making sure the mast head was on centerline, and then dialed in the rake and went from there. It turned out great! Thanks for your comment 😄

@AnthonyParr-do5jk 8 месяцев назад

I always basically climb the mast to make the person on the winches job much easier.

@arthurboulton4511 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! We are glad you enjoyed it and that you found our channel :)

Is heating the stay-lok fitting acceptable? Heating stainless changes its properties. At best you can passivate the heated part to bring the stainless properties back, but only to a point.

@Cptnbond 8 месяцев назад

I was also concerned about the torch heating. When you apply heat to steel, you will reduce its hardness and toughness. A big no no for me. But as the title say; 'with no experience' ; they will eventually learn with time. Cheers.

Fixed checkstays from the inner forestay level to the deck aft of the mast were also called soldier stays…

@SailingSeawind 7 месяцев назад

How cool! Always interesting hearing different names and definitions. Thanks!

These are things I call "the joys of (home)boat ownership". The things you do out of love for the roof over your head and the money in your bank account.

@sputnikginger 8 месяцев назад

Sorry about that, but its just the way I'm wired - no offense intended

@janicearmstrong9645 8 месяцев назад

Your wife is amazing grinding you up the mast. She could have done the shroud repining.Share the jobs and you will have a happier crew with more experience.
