Mast Refurbishment

Mast refurbishment is another common process carried out by Riggtech to the highest standard. Our process involves removing every fitting from the mast, stripping all the paint off and starting all over again with a high quality and durable painting process. We apply anti-corrosive pastes to every fitting to ensure longevity and durability, because too often we see the detrimental consequences corrosion has on yachts, as result of being exposed to hash salty environments. Oiling sheaves and greasing bearings is an added measure we take to ensure smooth and safe sailing no matter the conditions you face.

We take a great deal of care to ensure the mast and yacht are not damaged in the process of removing and refitting masts - using padding and tie downs to secure and protect fittings from coming into contact with one another, so the mast comes back looking brand new, exceeding owners expectations.
