Customer Job of the Month!
We are proud to announce David MacVean as our customer of the month. David is a member of SDYC and owns a Beneteau 47.3. He expressed a desire to sail to Hawaii, so we worked with him to make sure his boat was safe to sail.
We started wit
h a standard rig inspection which included lubricating the turnbuckles and the spreader tips as well as cleaning the swage fittings. We also added spreader boots to prevent damage to the main, jib and spinnaker.
Some of the other alterations we made on David's boat in preparation for his sail include:
-Replaced traveler line, upgraded strap eyes and blocks.
-Replaced chafe lines on lazy jacks.
-Installed spare spinnaker halyard and added extra halyard clutches in the cock pit.
-Added block to mast head.
-Upgraded mast step and turning blocks with customed stainless steel mast step block bracket designed and fabricated by KC Performance Rigging.
-Stainless steel extension on the bow to extend out the spinnaker foreguy.
David MacVean has been a great customer and we are excited that he will soon be sailing to Hawaii. Enjoy your time on the water, David, and thank you for your business!
Cruising News
Often, during the winter months, boats are stored for longer periods of time. In order to ensure your boat stays in its best condition, here are a few tips (these tips actually apply to any time your boat goes unused, not just during the winter):
Keep your boat covered! Covers are an initial expense, but worth the investment in the long run because they protect your boat from the elements. A good choice if you are in the market for a cover is the boom tent, which covers the back half of the boat. The nice thing about the boom tent is that you can spend time on the boat without having to remove it.
-Store your running rigging! I recommend skying halyards, removing or storing jib sheets and putting halyard tails in bags.
-Remove and store the jib.
-Store all loose deck hardware.
-Run the engine every 6-8 weeks.
-Use a dehumidifier in the cabin to eliminate odors, dampness and mildew.
-Lastly, dont forget about the bottom of the boat! I highly recommend finding a diver you trust to keep the bottom clean and zincs replaced when needed.
KC Performance Rigging's boat management service is available for an affordable monthly fee. We handle all of this maintenance, and more, if you don't have the time to take care of it on your own.
