Custom Leatherwork
Custom Leatherwork – Protection, Performance & Style
At Riggtech, we go beyond rigging to offer high-quality, custom leatherwork designed to protect your yacht and enhance its performance. One key application is leathering the ends of spreaders during standing rigging replacements. This critical step prevents sails from chafing against sharp edges, preserving the integrity of your sailcloth and extending the life of your rig.
We also apply leather to other high-wear areas such as vang blocks and barber haulers, helping prevent damage to both the equipment and surrounding surfaces. These small yet important details make a significant difference in the long-term performance and appearance of your yacht.
Custom Riggtech Leather Steering Wheel Kits – Now Available Online
We also offer beautifully crafted leather steering wheel kits, custom-made to order and available in our online store. Designed for DIY installation, each kit includes:
-
Pre-cut leather strips tailored to your measurements
-
Pre-punched sewing holes
-
Matching thread/twine
-
Step-by-step instructions for a professional finish
Our kits are available to suit 22mm or 25mm tubing and come in two colours: Natural (Light Grey) or Dark Brown.
To ensure a perfect fit and clean finish, we ask customers to provide three key measurements using verniers:
-
The wheel’s overall diameter
-
The perimeter tube diameter
-
The number of spokes
From there, we custom-cut the leather so that seams align precisely with the spokes—resulting in a clean, symmetrical, and visually striking installation.
Protect your gear. Upgrade your helm. Enhance your yacht.
