Rigging manufacture and services
Custom Spars operates a dedicated, fully equipped rigging department specialising in the manufacture, assembly and servicing of standing and running rigging for sailing yachts of all sizes. Combining specialist equipment with decades of practical experience, our team delivers tailored rigging solutions for custom-built yachts, high-performance sailing vessels and offshore cruising yachts.
Our standing rigging capabilities include the manufacture and assembly of wire, rod and composite rigging systems, supported by specialised rod-heading equipment and Technik roll-swaging machinery. Every rigging configuration is developed with careful consideration of load requirements, durability, compatibility and the demands of the yacht’s sail plan.
Our running rigging services encompass a comprehensive range of specialised ropework, including precision splicing, rope tapering, chafe protection and the manufacture of custom rope assemblies. We also produce soft shackles and other specialist rope components, offering bespoke solutions for demanding sail handling applications.
Our facilities provide load testing, break-load testing and proof loading for applicable rigging components, including spliced rope assemblies and soft shackles. These capabilities support quality control and help ensure that completed assemblies meet their intended performance requirements.
Whether manufacturing a complete rigging package for a new yacht, replacing existing standing rigging or developing specialised running rigging for a particular sailing application, our experienced team provides practical technical advice and carefully manufactured solutions.
From individual rigging components to complete standing and running rigging systems, Custom Spars combines precision manufacturing, specialist ropework and real-world sailing expertise to deliver dependable rigging solutions.
