"Two years ago I participated in the Bermuda One/Two. Although I was keen on the competitive aspect of the race my primary goal was to make it to Bermuda and back safely. I relied on New England Yacht Rigging to ensure I met my goal. They replaced all of my life lines, running rigging and gave my mast an overall inspection."

"Foregone Conclusion"
"When I decided to finally move up to a 40 footer my budget only allowed me to purchase an older boat. I did most of the work myself but when it came to replacing rigging and deck hardware I met with the team at New England Yacht rigging to review my needs and budget. They were fantastic to deal with as they understood my need for quality, but at a price I could afford."
