Ruel Rigging

Ruel Rigging Ruel Rigging, established in 1994, operates from Bakers Bayview Marina on Sydney's glorious Pittwater.

Ruel Rigging offer a variety of traditional and modern rigging services, from standing and running rigging on yachts to rope work and splicing. Ruel Rigging has been a trusted name in yacht rigging for over three decades. Founded in 1995 on Scotland Island in Sydney’s stunning Northern Beaches, the business began with a single workshop and a bold first project: the complete re-rigging of the 1902

tall ship Solway Lass—hand spliced and executed entirely in situ at Darling Harbour. As demand quickly grew, the team relocated to Bayview Marina in 1997, where operations continue today. In 2006, Ruel Rigging began commissioning new Hanse yachts and has since completed the commissioning of over 300 rigs in new yachts. Now operated by a skilled team of experienced riggers and sailors, Ruel Rigging carries forward a legacy of excellence and attention to detail that has earned the trust of both the racing and cruising communities across Australia. From cruisers preparing to head north, to weekend sailors wanting a safe, well-maintained vessel for club racing or family outings, we support boat owners at every level with the same dedication to quality and service. Whether you're racing offshore or preparing for coastal cruising, Ruel Rigging remains committed to delivering superior craftsmanship and personalised care

Planning to use the boat more this year.

Before the first proper sail, it’s worth checking the part of the boat that takes the most load.

Then & Now looking sharper than ever!

Return customer.
We’ve re-rigged this beauty twice for her current owner, and now she’s sporting a new profurl c320 headsail furler.

It’s always satisfying fitting quality gear to a boat that’s been so well cared for, some yachts just don’t age.
Her in 2014 vs today… looking ready for another decade on the water.

It’s been a busy Friday at Ruel Rigging getting yachts ready for the weekend here in beautiful Pittwater, Sydney!

🔩 We’ve just installed a brand new custom-fabricated bow fitting/forestay chainplate by customengeneering on a Little Harbor 50 — a solid upgrade for this classic cruiser.

⚓ Wrapped up a full standing and running rigging replacement on a Hunter 27, including a fresh Profurl C290 furler supplied by the team at Wichard Pacific.

⛵ Also finished the standing and running rigging overhaul on a Hanse 445, plus serviced the Seldén single line reefing system to keep things smooth and reliable.

Here are some photos from this week’s rig inspections, highlighting significant issues with poor manufacturing and aging boats. These vessels have critical deficiencies that pose a high risk of failure and serious injury. A common response from owners is, “I only sail in light winds and don’t go offshore.” However, weather conditions won’t mitigate the risks associated with boats in such condition. Regular maintenance and annual rig checks are crucial in preventing boats from deteriorating to this state, ensuring safety and peace of mind on the water.
