Traditional Rigging

We restore and maintain traditional ships — from sloops and schooners to large square riggers — using the materials and methods the vessels were built for. The result is a rig that is historically faithful and entirely seaworthy.

What we do

• Hemp and natural-fibre rope
• Traditional splicing and seizing
• Historical accuracy in materials and layout
• Custom rigging plans for restoration projects

Heritage in safe hands

From the standing rigging of a full-rigged ship to the running rigging of a gaff schooner, we treat every vessel as the piece of maritime heritage she is.
