What's New?

KC Performance Rigging is now the Southern California Dealer for Alpha Rope. We carry approximately 30 spools in stock from cruising line to hi-end racing line for running rigging.

We also carry Dynex Dux, which is pre-stretched Dyneema rope. It is the newest generation of ultra high performance synthetic rope. Dynex Dux is more compact and far more abrasion resistant and is specially designed for wire cable replacement. We are the direct dealer and have multiple sizes in stock for all your rigging needs. This line works great for the lowest stretched halyards and is relatively cost effective.

Feel free to
contact us if you are interested in getting custom colors for your boat. With free shipping we can provide you with any style or color you desire.

Customer Job of the Month!

We are proud to announce Scott Roberts as our customer of the month. Scott is the owner of a 1984 Beneteau 44, his first cruising boat.

Scott's goal has always been to live on his boat and eventually go on long cruising adventures. He currently uses the boat for weekend trips and afternoon sails.

His boat was in good condition but was in need of some TLC so we started with a standard rig inspection. Some of the alterations we made on Scott's boat include:

-Removed and replaced old traveler with a ball barren traveler.
-Installed new mainsheet blocks.
-Replaced old furling unit with a brand new Harken unit II. We also ran new lead gear.

Scott had a local welder build dinghy davits, which we installed the line purchase system and his bridal for the dinghy. Some additional upgrades include:

-Upgraded the lazy jacks, replaced the main topping lift.
-Installed two mast steps at the base.
-Installed winch pad on starboard side with a brand new self-tailing Lewmar winch.
-Mounted chalks on deck for the spinnaker pole.
-Fixed the spinnaker mast track control lines
-Installed jam cleats for halyards on the mast.
-Rebuilt all winches.
-Installed handle pocket on mast.
-Installed Harken bat car system for mainsail.

Lastly, Brian Janney with Quantum Sails set him up with a new main and jib.

Scott Roberts has been a great customer. We were extremely excited about this project because we were able to customize many aspects of his yacht to make it more user-friendly and sea worthy. Enjoy your time on the water, Scott, and thank you for your business!
