Great video guys!!!! Thanks

Really useful thanks

Great. Very informative. Would it be possible if Dion could do more videos about yachts and post them on youtube. He is really good. Also is there a fb page on pacific rigging sydney

We will have to suggest this to him!

A bit late but just found these great videos recently! My request is some examples of issues and possible failures. The demo video was on a brand new boat with perfect rigging. Would love to see bad rigging and the issues being pointed out. Great shows.

Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed. Great stuff which we will work on for the future. Regards, Joe

Thank you very much for a very clear and instructional series of films. I learn a lot from these. If I may, I have one comment regarding the mast inspection. What I have decided for myself after reading different stories and recommendations, is to never tail a line on the winch when using the electric mode for hoisting a person. This in case something goes wrong with the switch, making the winch uncontrollable. Instead I would hold tension on the line with my hands when hoisting, then if something goes wrong, by releasing the pressure on the line, the winch would just spin freely without the risk of injury to the hoisted person.

Thanks for this. This video is focused on the inspection process itself and not hoisting up the mast for this reason. We definitely do advise people to figure out the safest practice for this themselves.

I follow idea always. However, it is feasible if the push buttons are floor based (i.e. foot operated). As shown in the video, when the button is near the winch, you need three hands to follow this procedure - two to work the line and third to push the button/

Great series and very helpful episode. Thank you guys. However, there's no part 2, right?

Can we mount a 360 degree camera on the mast that can zoom in or out n or rotate ??

I noted with interest your comments re halyard wrap, the implication being that catastrophic rig failure could occur if the halyard was unsuitable for the jib. Accordingly, I would appreciate your opinion as to whether using the manufacturers Code O halyard in place of the manufacturers jib halyard would be acceptable with the Code 0 halyard still in its usual position i.e. pulling from above

Hi Geoff, Our opinion is that the Code Zero halyard is too far away from the top of the fuller and would be very easily wrapped around the forestay if used.

Nicely done! My only concern is the guy was talking quite a lot about safety when lifting a person on a mast and then he clutched himself in a bosun chair with a chuckle and a carabiner and here we go! ) I noticed that it was the only option on that catamaran with that particular rigging, but yet it was a really unsafe demonstration, contradictory to what was just said.

Hi Audrey, thanks for your comment. We decided to crop the demonstration Dion did to configure the Bonsuns chair as this could vary dependant on the manufacturer. As such we recommend referring to the individual manual. When done correctly and with some practice going up the mast can be quite safe.

You do have an option on this catamaran to use the topping lift as a safety line.
