Have You Completed Your Rigging Inspection?

Annual Rigging Control for Sailing Yachts

Author: Levent ÇELMENPhotography: Levent ÇELMEN

Periodic inspections of our boats must be carried out without any delay.

We cannot know what will fail, when, and under what conditions.

When these malfunctions and breakdowns occur at sea, unfortunately they come one after another.

At least our own experiences show this.

For this reason, it is beneficial to perform the necessary inspections periodically.

One of these is the rigging for sailing vessels.

Sometimes it is not possible to see the effect of sea conditions on this equipment with the naked eye.

For this reason, it is necessary to examine the condition and durability of the material in detail.

Times when rigging is used during passages are moments when there is wind at sea, waves rise, and conditions become a bit harsher.

Especially when we get carried away and start pushing the boat and rigging hard, the risks start to follow you closely by your side.

We filmed the work of the expert M2 team on this subject.

Mustafa TEZCAN provided information about the period of these inspections and what needs to be done.

He also warned: Rigging Report is Very Important for Insurance Coverage.
