Rigging work recommendation

[frlrubett]

Since buying my Leisure 23 have never had the rigging done (do not know rigging history), now we are preparing the boat for summer have started to think about it. Last year had a few quotes to have the rigging changed fully but the price is pretty heavy.

There are three issues which have been identified but there might be other issues.

1. replacing the bottle screw aft shround connector as it's too short, has no split pin and no locking nut. Pic 1.

2. There is a bolt on the furler (green arrow) which I can be moved by hand. Pic 2

3. Also the bolt (blue arrow) does not fully extend into that nut. Pic 2


Do you (and who do you) recommend that a professional does these jobs? Based on river Crouch.

Is it foolish to not have the whole rigging replaced? We only do fair weather sailing, day sails and reef early.

Thanks

Hi

Dave at DRS - did ours - very happy with results. Web site is basic but his work is not.

Speak to Craig Bond of this parish!

Alternately try him through his web site. CB Rigging Brightlingsea Essex, Headsail Reefing, Balustrade Wires, Spinnaker Poles, Spars, I.J.P.E information

Craig is an excellent rigger and is often in Burnham as well as most other places up and down the East Coast!

My vote for Dave DRS, I wouldn’t use anyone else

We too have used Dave (DRS). Thoroughly recommended, and a really lovely guy!

It is possible to diy with replacement rigging made up to your measurements by Jimmy Green. For a 23 ft boat that will be your best bet.

Dave DRS is excellent but if you are in BYH then they didn't used to let him work there.

Dave DRS is excellent but if you are in BYH then they didn't used to let him work there.

Assuming things haven't changed within the last couple of years, Dave can work at BYH, but they charge for the privilege! It's the same for all third party contractors there.

No disrespect to Daves rigging, but what the hell is the point of that website, no email address, no phone number, huh ?

 

[Corribee Boy]

It's all there on the 'contact' page

No its not there is no link to a contact page, and there is nothing in my browser.

I actually have to go and look at the site in chrome, which is not my default browser, to see any of the links at the top of the page.

Well, either Dave is reading this forum (Hi!) and has since corrected the page, or there's some kind of crazy going on here! For me, the Contact Us page reads as follows:

No, there is an issue with Daves website when viewed with Firefox (see my previous post). Looks OK in Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

 

[syvictoria]

I'm intrigued...! And sad, it has to be said! I've just tried the page in a few different combinations in Browserling and all looks okay. Are the people who can't see the page using Windows 10 and Edge by chance?

Edit: Following previous post, what OS are you using PaulRainbow?
