Description
Emergency Rigging Kit developed by The Rigging Company in Annapolis, MarylandThis is the only comprehensive rig repair kit I've seen on the market. It was developed by The Rigging Company for use by offshore cruisers. It contains everything you'd need to stabilize any sort of rigging failure to get you safely back to port. The kit is (thankfully) unused.
This kit should be mandatory equipment for any vessel sailing offshore. It can mean the difference of abandoning the boat or safely returning to port under reduced sail.
