Penryn yacht dismasted.

I look after 84 moorings on the River Blackwater & it amazes me how silly some people are with the way they look after their boats
they just dump them on a mooring & leave them
We get an average of one mast per year falling down
One chap had his mast fall down, Re erected it & having no spare pins put a split pin through the shackle instead of a shackle pin
needless to say a couple of weeks later the whole lot went over the side - this time braking the mast

That's David Carne and his son at Rigger-UK.

There is not a lot they don't know about rigging and they do the new boats at Rustlers, etc. Extremely competent.

If there was one criticism it's that they can be on the relaxed side of businesslike.

Thanks Tim I will give them a call on monday
