Service Shops

Just to let you know we are THRILLED with the boat. You and your crew did a terrific job. We really appreciate your uncovering items needing attention, on top of the list we already had. That means a lot to a customer to have everything done before the Bon Voyage.

Rigging

Great Island Boat Yard has full-time, dedicated riggers who can inspect, repair and assemble running rigging, standing rigging and complete spars.  The riggers say that they "spend all fall looking for cracks and all winter fixing them."  Our rigging staff will perform a visual inspection of the deck hardware, mast components, standing rigging and running rigging for every mast stored inside. Any issues identified are communicated so that they can be resolved before they become a safety issue.

We unstep and store over 100 masts. Our loft is equipped with a wire swaging machine and a large inventory of line, wire and hardware. We have ample space in the loft to perform routine annual maintenance, make repairs and install upgrades.
