Traditional Rigging
Traditional Standing Rigging
Fairlie Riggers can provide everything from block refurbishment to a complete re-rig.

Our Master craftsman can hand-splice both wire and rope with hard or soft eyes, combined with traditional and modern materials and methods. Fairlie Riggers is able to produce authentic, long-lasting, low maintenance rigs.

Traditional rigging wire 7 x 7 stainless steel is used on traditional yachts, as it is less tensile and kinder to wooden hulls.

Wires can be hand spliced with hard or soft eye, turned up and seized and served. Our master rigger can offer a bespoke service, and would be happy to offer advice.

Talurit Splicing
Talurit splicing is available with hard or soft eyes.

Traditional Running Rigging
We can supply all the traditional rigging ropes you may require, made from hemp, manila and sisal. However traditional style ropes are now available in modern synthetic materials that have the look of manila or hemp. These ropes whilst having the aesthetic value of the traditional rope, are rot resistant and UV stable.
