Recent line orders heading out the door. From custom running rigging to finished eye splices and hardware, we’re proud to build clean, dependable line packages for sailors who put their gear to work.

And if you’re headed to the Annapolis Sailboat Show this October, come find us at the Lanex Yachting booth SCP33. We’ll be there representing Lanex, talking rope, rigging, and helping you find the right line for your boat.

See you in Annapolis. ⛵️

We get to do a lot of chatting about ball bearing service and general maintenance regarding torlon ball bearings in roller furlers, travelers, genoa tracks, and in this case, outhaul cars. However it is very rare we get examples as good as this one! As we like to say, when one ball stops rolling they all stop and start skidding creating flat spots. To help prevent this, clean with dawn soap and fresh water. Always check your tracks where the cars live for residual dirt and debris. If you must l**e, use only a dry l**e like sailkote or one drop.

The Riggers at Zern know Pensacola is a world class sailing destination ~ the secret is getting out? Here is an AC40 strutting its stuff for us this past Saturday.
PS - Maybe NSFW? 😳
PPS - Naples Italy same day?? (in comments)

During my stint at Zern it is my intention to show just how masterfully these folks work together to get you sailing. The first team photo is surely an easy place to start, yes? 😼

L to R = Jeff, Evan, DJ, Darrell, Linda and Tom. Their exceptional profiles are on our website.
NOT pictured is the sly-as-a-fox Rick Zern.

TRUE STORY! - the big man hung this by our front door. Ok, ok, we're not taking the whole day off but we will be leaving at noon today - Friday July 03. Certainly we'll see you "out there." We're back at it Monday.

You saw last week's chill mid-week series racing that we all participate in. Here is our DJ, not so chill.

Riggers like to sail too.
