portsmouth harbour rigger reccommendations.....

[niccapotamus]

Hi

We'll need to replace the standing rigging this winter as well as get a problematic mast gate sorted out and get advice on single line reefing

Can anyone recommend a good rigger?

(preferably up the top end of portsmouth - we are moored at Wicor and are moving to Portchester SC next year )

thanks

Nick

Martin Leaning based in Port Solent is very good - he re-rigged our Oyster 406 last winter.

Are you taking the mast down?
If so, a chandler like Chris Hornseys' will make a good job of copying the wires.

Another vote for Martin Leaning. One of the few riggers that we have used who has turned up when he said he would.

Yet another recommendation for Martin Leaning, he has done a couple of jobs on my rig, and will certainly go back to him.

I used Barry's Reefing & Rigging Repair Service who is based at Thornham Marina (our over winter marina) and found him very good and a nice guy as well. He will travel around the area. He replaced all the standing rigging on our 10m sloop with a quality product at a keen price. His Mobile is 07970 772 686.

Sorted me out with an emergency repair a couple of weeks ago.
Highly recommended, and a really nice guy!
