C.L. Rigging works extensively with both monohulls and multihulls, bringing the same hands-on approach and attention to detail to each.
Whether you’re maintaining an existing catamaran, evaluating an aging rig, preparing for extended cruising or planning a significant upgrade, C.L. Rigging can help assess the system and determine the right approach for your boat.
Multihull Systems
Catamaran rigging requires a different eye.
Catamaran rigs often use different load paths and support systems than traditional monohulls. Depending on the boat and rig configuration, C.L. Rigging evaluates components specific to multihulls, including:
- Forestay load paths, bridles and forward beam connections
- Diamond stays, spreaders, tangs and mast support
- Mast step, mast base and crossbeam interfaces
- Shroud, chainplate, terminal and turnbuckle connections at each hull
- Furlers, halyard leads and sail-handling systems
- Bowsprits, prodders and downwind sail hardware
- Self-tacking jib and traveler hardware
- Mast rotation systems and controls, where fitted
- Corrosion, movement, cracking, wear and improper alignment
Inspections
Catamaran rigging inspections.
A professional rigging inspection can help identify wear, corrosion, fatigue, damaged fittings and other potential concerns before they become larger problems. C.L. Rigging provides catamaran and multihull rig inspections for:
Insurance Requirements
Written documentation of rig condition and identified concerns.
Pre-Purchase
A closer evaluation of the mast and rigging before purchasing a boat.
