Rig inspections are vital for maintaining the overall safety and performance of your vessel. Your mast and rigging should be checked regularly by an experienced, skilled technician. Whether you are a cruising, racing or blue-water yachtsman, Northland Spars and Rigging can inspect your rigging to give you peace of mind and ensure your vessel can provide optimum sailing performance.

We have a wide experience of working with insurance companies on accident claims. Owners, Brokers and Insurance companies trust our expertise to deliver high quality and cost effective repairs.

A Rig Inspection will be charged in New Zealand Dollars ar a reasonable rate if within a 20km radius of Opua or Whangerei. Travel charges can be agreed for inspections outside of this area. Once the inspection is completed, a comprehensive report will be produced and discussed in detail with any recommendations being put forward by our team. A Rig Inspection includes the following areas:-

• Standing rigging
• Mast and boom condition
• Furling Gear
• Running Rigging

If you are thinking of purchasing a second hand vessel you should consider a rig pre-inspection as this may influence your purchase decision or price offered, and may avoid future rig problems. A full inspection report will be provided and our experienced riggers will be available to discuss and advise you on your purchase.
