Mast & Rigging Inspection

A Mast & Rigging Inspection is typically commissioned to assess the condition, safety, and performance of a vessel’s mast, sails, and rigging. The main goal is to identify any wear, damage, or potential issues that could affect sailing safety.

This includes checking the mast, spars, stays, shrouds, spreaders, winches, and fittings for corrosion, cracks, or tension problems. Sail attachments and moving parts are also tested to ensure they function properly.

This inspection ensures the mast and rigging are safe, reliable, and fully functional.

The survey is performed both onshore and afloat. Out-of-water checks focus on mast bases, deck fittings, and hardware, while in-water inspections test sails, halyards, and running rigging under load.

At the conclusion of the inspection, a detailed report is provided with photographs, findings, and recommendations. This helps the owner plan maintenance, repairs, or upgrades to keep the rigging safe and efficient.
