Wire Rigging

Wire standing rigging is one of the most maintenance free aspects of modern sailboats. However, since relatively little attention is required, many sailors are not well informed about their shrouds and stays. We help our customers understand what wire rope can and cannot do, as well as what can be done to help it perform as well, and for as long as possible.  Rigworks has the capacity to swage up to 5/8″ marine swages.

Hayn Hi-mod mechanical fitiing

While all marine rigging is made of stainless, no steel is completely impervious to corrosion or rusting. Generally the more nickel in the alloy, the more “stainless” it will be. But adding nickel actually weakens the metal a bit – getting the right mix is the key. Better riggers agree that 316 grade stainless is the right choice for the marine environment. While less expensive 304 actually has a higher breaking strength when new (less nickel), it weakens significantly after a few years of salt water service. Rigworks constructs all standing rigging from 316, and uses 304 only for indoor architectural projects.

The architecture of wire rope is also key to its performance. Hopefully, your heaviest crew member doesn’t work the foredeck and your lightweights don’t do all the grinding. Similarly, some wire is constructed for pure strength, while other constructions give up a bit of strength in favor of flexibility.  Generally, wire standing rigging has a 10-12 year life cycle in normal conditions and use, but it is less in the tropics.

Most shrouds and stays are made of 1×19 cable . This cable is laid up in one strand comprised of 19 smaller strands. It is very strong, not very flexible, and works very well with the various fittings which may be swaged on its cut ends.  This cable is generally used for shrouds and/or standing rigging.

Dyform / Compact Strand

Compacted wire rope, commonly called Dyform, is stronger and exhibits less stretch. More on Compacted/Dyform wire.

At the other end of the spectrum is 7×19 cable . Being constructed of seven strands each containing nineteen smaller strands, it is very flexible and therefore appropriate for halyards, dinghy hoists, etc. (These days the demand for flexible wire is decreasing quickly due to today’s incredibly strong and more hands-friendly line. Please see our rope selection .)

Finally, there is vinyl coated wire, commonly a 7×7 wire, and used for lifelines. This is mostly a matter of tradition, but it’s worth noting that uncovered 1×19 is quickly becoming the standard for lifelines on finer yachts. More on Lifelines .

Rigging Redo: A Switch to Synthetic

• By Behan Gifford
• August 23, 2024

Updating the standing rigging on our Stevens 47, Totem , wasn’t an intentional part of the 40-year refit that we recently completed. We had re-rigged in 2019, anticipating our departure to the South Pacific in spring 2020. The pandemic scratched that, and we embarked on a significant refit in 2021 that instead left this rig on saw horses for a year and a half.

Putting the rig back up was among the last tasks during our extended stay at Cabrales Boatyard in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. As we neared mast-stepping day in November 2023, my husband, Jamie, busted out his rigging kit. That’s how we refer to the 10X loupe that serves as the key for scrutinizing components at a level that human eyes just can’t do without magnification. 

Some halyards showed age and wear, but we already knew this and had a replacement Dyneema/polyester double braid replacement line on hand. The one surprise? Totem ’s backstay.

Our Backstay’s Weak Link

New in 2019, the wire still looked fine, as did the swages. But two Sta-Lok insulators on the backstay —an assembly that enables that aft wire to be used as an antenna for single sideband radio—didn’t. Surface crazing on the black nylon portion of the insulators, which were added in 2008, suggested ultraviolet degradation.

During our 2019 rerig, we chose to reuse the backstay insulators. The fittings inspected well. Some people consider mechanical rigging terminals such as Sta-Lok, Hayn Hi-MOD and Norseman to be indefinitely reusable. They’re not. Jamie considers their lifespan at two rigging cycles (or about 20 years) maximum. Our old insulators met safe criteria, so we saved money by keeping them.

Still, we knew to look out for trouble. In the past few years, friends on two different cruising boats had rig failures due to broken insulators. Both crews practice good seamanship and don’t skimp on safety. Melissa White has written about losing the backstay on Galapagos (in her blog, Little Cunning Plan , and also in 48°N magazine ), three weeks into a passage from Hawaii to the Pacific Northwest. With only 500 nautical miles to Cape Flattery, Washington, their insulator snapped in half in the rolling swells of the North Pacific Ocean. They were in conditions that allowed them to stabilize the rig, and they altered course to a closer point of landfall.

The crew of Miles wasn’t so lucky: When their insulator failed, their rig came down . Never mind the fact that they’d had a rigging inspection only months before, and no faults had been found.

When they dismasted, they were in degrading conditions approximately 100 miles east of Eleuthera, Bahamas. In an admirable effort, they secured the wreckage and bashed overnight to the nearest safe harbor in San Salvador.

So, Jamie took another look at our setup last November, and he condemned Totem ’s insulator. The conclusion was easy, but the decision about next steps was not.

We were days from putting Totem back in the water, looking for a weather window to sail south. Five family members were flying to meet us in a bay 800 nautical miles south of the boatyard. Any delay in stepping would make us late for the family Christmas. Could we get to Puerto Vallarta with the existing backstay, or could the rig be compromised on our trip south?

And, in the time between putting insulators on the new rig in 2019 and wrapping an extensive refit in 2023, we had changed our stance on single sideband use. Once our only offshore communication, the hardware no longer earned a place on Totem because multiple satellite options are available today. Since we weren’t installing the SSB , we didn’t need new insulators. This opened options to consider in replacing the backstay.

One of those options was Dyneema, which is a strong, lightweight line made from synthetic ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. Dynex Dux is Dyneema that’s put through another cycle of heating and stretching to get every fiber in every yarn bundle to be exactly the same length. It’s lightweight, super strong and has virtually no stretch, making it a great alternative to wire for rigging.

We knew this because in 2008, Jamie had installed a Dynex Dux solent stay and inner forestay on Totem . He had also installed a Dux backstay on a friend’s boat in Puerto Rico in 2017, and loved the results.

With Totem now our focus, we reached out to Colligo Marine, the US distributor for Dynex Dux, rebranded as Colligo Dux . Colligo’s founder, co-owner and lead engineer, John Franta, helped us. Picking up the backstay became a perfect excuse for us to drive to Southern California for Thanksgiving with cousins. (Shipping into Mexico is fraught with issues.) Barely a week later, we were on our way back to Mexico with the new backstay in hand.

Shifting forward a few weeks, Totem was in Banderas Bay in time for family Christmas, after a conservative sail south with the old backstay in place. The new one was installed in the slip at Marina Riviera Nayarit. The hardest part of replacing the backstay with the mast up? Detaching and lowering the old backstay, because it was so heavy. The new stay was in place minutes later.

Wire vs. Synthetic Rigging

If Dux is so great, why didn’t we replace all of our standing rigging with it back in 2019?

Well, we did think about it. At the time, Jamie chose wire because of the cost of additional hardware necessary in the shift to synthetic rigging. We simply didn’t have the resources to consider the upgrade.

There are other considerations for a switch to synthetic rigging, too. They include abrasion, chafe, ultraviolet longevity and thermal expansion. Stainless steel wire has just as many issues and is harder to inspect well. Our new backstay was an easy choice this time around because of the weight savings, ease of installation and absence of chafe points.

We’re now getting ready to sail around 2,000 nautical miles from Hawaii to Micronesia. We aren’t sure yet if we’ll make landfall in Tarawa, Kiribati, or sail the slightly shorter distance to Majuro, Marshall Islands. Ideally, we can visit Tarawa first (it’s harder to get there later), but the weather will make the decision for us.

Meanwhile: Totem Talks will be on again before we sail west. For this next free livestream, we’ll have a circumnavigation roundtable with our friend and neighbor here in Hawaii, Dustin Reynolds . He didn’t just circumnavigate: Dustin holds a Guinness World Record for the first solo voyage around the world by a double amputee (arm and leg).Bring your voyaging questions, and sign up to be notified by email for the date of the livestream.

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team are very experienced in making up Yacht Rigging with quick turn-around times as a matter of course.

Team Jimmy Green can produce anything from a single replacement stay to a complete standing rigging re-rig and are well versed in meeting delivery deadlines in the UK, the EU and for export worldwide.

Strict Quality Control Procedures and Accountability Systems ensure that only the best quality stainless steel wire and terminals are considered. Traceability is an important feature of the Jimmy Green assurance policy: Stainless Steel Wire - Quality Control and Care

Wiretechnik Roller Swaging Technology is available from 2.5mm up to 12mm diameter (up to 10mm on-site).

Cabco Talurit soft or hard (thimble) eye wire termination from 2mm up to 8mm diameter are available on site.

Both these brands are the marine industry-leading manufacturers for wire termination machines.

Jimmy Green Marine offer the full range of Sta-Lok, Petersen and Hamma Regatta swage terminals e.g. eye, forks, tees, strap toggles plus all manner of turnbuckle and backstay insulator options.

Jimmy Green Marine also offer the full range of Sta-Lok, Petersen Hi Mod and Bluewave DIY fittings, plus Norseman replacement cones manufactured by Tylaska Marine.

All this is available to purchase online.

Standing Rigging Re-Rig Quotes

Customers frequently ask for standing rigging replacement quotes or even ballpark figures for valuation purposes citing only the yacht type/model or design. Even if your yacht is a well-known one-design production yacht e.g. Westerly, Moody, Beneteau, there is still a good chance that the specification has been altered since the original build. If the owners' manual has been preserved, it may state the standard specification, but this may have been altered/upgraded for the first owner.

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team have built up a database of information from completed re-rigs over the years, but this is by no means comprehensive. There is a certain amount of information that can be gleaned from the world wide web, but this will still not go as far as individual yacht rig specifications.

It is therefore difficult to give an accurate answer without some basic information about the rig. The diameter of the wire and therefore the associated size of the terminals is fundamental to the cost. In terms of price, the other major factor will be whether you intend to replace the rigging screws/turnbuckles. Clearly the number and configuration of the stays is important, but it is much simpler to estimate their lengths and probable terminals. More specification considerations include e.g. split, adjustable and/or insulated backstays, forestay foibles caused by headsail furler fitting, linked rigging.

Jimmy Green Marine have made it possible to get an instant standing rigging re-rig quote online.

You need to know or give us the following information:

• The type of wire: KOS 1 x 19, Petersen Compact Strand or KOS flexible 7 x 19
• The diameter of the wire
• The approximate length for each stay
• The terminal at the top
• The bottom terminal (with or without rigging screw)

These  CUSTOM BUILD INSTRUCTIONS  will help you through the process.

For a rough guide, approximate lengths and an educated guess for the terminals will suffice. The decision on whether to replace the turnbuckles makes a big difference to the price.

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team are always on hand to help you through this process, by email or on the telephone.

If the measuring seems a daunting responsibility, send us the old rigging as a pattern. We will measure, ask any pertinent questions about the new rig and quote you before starting any work.

Standing Rigging Complete Replacement

A complete Re-Rig i.e. replacement of all your standing rigging may seem like too big a job to tackle yourself but it needn't be too difficult with help from the Jimmy Green Rigging Team.

A common-sense approach combined with careful notetaking (photos) at each stage will be enough to ensure success.
