Riggers in /near Portsmouth (Wicor)

[CPD]

I'd be grateful for any personal recommendations for riggers near Wicormarine (upper Portsmouth harbour). I'm thinking of coming out mid-season and getting the standing rigging done at he same time. Many thanks.

Just had mine replaced by Kiwi Marine, they were the best quote out of 5 or 6. Stalok chromed bronze rigging screws etc. Did the job on time. Pleasant guy.

Forestay was done by Barry Locke (07970 772686) because it's inside a Rotostay furler and he's got all the tools to get them apart. I believe other riggers use him if a Rotostay is involved.

Another vote for Jerry The Rigger, top man, very helpful.

Just had all my standing rigging replaced by Martin Leaning Masts and Rigging based in Port Solent.
Can't recommend them highly enough, I'll certainly never be using any other riggers again.
Knowledgeable, helpful, very reasonable rates and a fantastic after sales service where they have sorted a few things more to my requirements without quids or quibble.
No connection, a very satisfied customer, highly recommended!
Good luck with it.

I have used Martin for years. I recommend him highly. No connection other than a old and very happy customer.

XW Rigging get my vote, based in Haslar . Arrived there with new boat, asked them to do a quick survey which would have cost £200, was quickly convinced by the rigger that as my rig was 20 years old he was happy to replace the lot for £1800 inc VAT. Boat is a 34'cruiser racer.

All done in three hours the following morning and sailing away by 13.00hrs

pretty good in my book...

Having had experience of 3 different riggers in the area, I now always use Jerry.

I've just used Barry Locke with no complaints at all. Full re-rig including new chainplates and guardrails.

Second for Barry.
He has just replaced all of my standing rigging on a 26ft yacht.
Very good quality, did exactly what was required and on time and to estimate - excellent service.
01243 376064 or 07970 772686.

Good Luck.

+1 for Jerry the rigger, he did a VHF for me last year and was great.

Paul Carey 07749 829539 has recently gone independent from a well known / respected company and he is doing my standing rigging at present.

I can happily recomend both.
