I had a few wires starting to break so I replaced all the friggin riggin. Second time out with my new rigging, I was not on the boat I was cooking for a large beach party, a bubble headed beach blond ask if my sail boat was suppose to have a mast. I answered yes they have a mast that is what holds the sail thinking gosh this one has the bleach formula a bit too strong. She says pointing out to the ocean well your boat does not have one. To my amazement she was right it lost the rig. We ususally had a few hundred people at the same time at the party that lasted all day as they came and went. We had acouple of cats on the beach to give rides to people

So that day I was in charge of an up to a 1000 person beach bash, my boat de-masted, and when I got home my wife’s horse coliced so we had to call the vet at 11 pm. Any one of the events in a week-end would be enough let alone all three in one day.

When the rigging shop made the crimps they made them too loose. No damage to the boat they made new wires and double crimped the new wires. I never went back to them for more work.
