Rigit Uk Ltd

Your rig & sail are the engine of your yacht. The rig needs to be maintained and sometimes upgraded as with every other system on your boat.

Rigit UK is happy to provide rigging services whatever your rigging needs. We are an experienced, Solent based company operating seven days a week from our workshop in Southampton and our shop in Cowes. We can provide rigging advice, rig inspections, rig tuning, rigging hardware, furling system servicing, standing rigging, running rigging, furlers and deck equipment. Our aim is to provide a rigging service to boat owners on how to get the most from their sailing experience, whether cruising or racing, and use our experience and knowledge to suggest improvements for performance, handling, comfort and budget.
