RUNNING RIGGING

Rod Standing Rigging

Standing rigging comprises the fixed lines, wires, or rods, which support each mast or bowsprit on a sailing vessel and reinforce those spars against wind loads transferred from the sails.

 Wire & Rod Standing Rigging

Wire standing rigging is one of the most maintenance free aspects of modern sailboats.  While all marine rigging is made of stainless, no steel is completely impervious to corrosion or rusting. Generally the more nickel in the alloy, the more “stainless” it will be.
