​

Rigging Inspections And Consultations

Carbotech provides a comprehensive rigging inspection on all masts to vessels located within Hong Kong and throughout Aisa. We inspect all running and standing rigging. All rigging termination points are visually inspected. Sheave pins and sheaves inspected, spreaders, furler or headsail foils, and all gooseneck fittings. We have formulated a check list that covers over 60 points, but will inevitably find additional points while doing a rig check, as every vessel is different.

 

Sailboat Rig Servicing

We also check all light fittings, blocks, cars, tracks, clutches, winches and any other hardware. A complete cleaning and crack testing of all rigging ends & pins, can be added if the mast is being pulled. We provide a detailed report of our findings, including suggestions for any additional parts and work required.

At Carbotech we also offer a consultation service to assist you with both troubleshooting of in mast furler and in boom furler systems as well as with selection of any new rigging parts, from winches or furling gear, to a new mast, no job is too big or too small.

​

Rigging replacements.

We also can assist with re rigs if your rigging has passed its use by date or considering changing from wire to rod or PBO. 

For backstays we offer covered dyneema setups for a lightweight option, to replace Kevlar and PBO which is prone to uv deterioration.

Servicing your winches regularly not only improves their longevity, but also greatly improves performance. Correctly cleaned and lubricated winches will operate faster, and require less force when grinding.
