We offer full rig commissioning.
We carefully unpack and inspect all pertinent parts, wash the shipping residue off the rig, install and test all electronics, attach all of the rigging, step the mast, tune the rigging, and run the lines so your boat is ready to sail.
We also offer rig de-commissioning.We can un-step the mast, remove the rigging and carefully pack everything in swaddling cloths so that the mast can be transported safely.
