Yacht Rigging & Sail Systems Built for NZ Waters
Precision, Performance & Reliability for Kiwi Sailors
We understand that a yacht’s rig and sails are at the heart of its performance, whether you're coastal cruising, club racing, or preparing for offshore passages. Our rigging and sail services bring together premium international brands, trusted New Zealand manufacturing, and the technical expertise required to keep your yacht running safely and efficiently.
In-Boom Furling Systems
New Zealand Distributor for MADE
We are proud to be New Zealand’s distributor for MADE, a next-generation in-boom furling system engineered for sailors who want reliability, ease of handling, and precise sail control.
While many Kiwi sailors are familiar with Leisure Furl, MADE represents the newest evolution of in-boom furling technology, delivering smoother furling, refined engineering, and greater control in a wide range of conditions.
Why Choose an In-Boom Furling System?
Effortless reefing and furling from the cockpit
Maintains a full-batten mainsail for superior shape and performance
Ideal for shorthanded or family sailing
Increased safety in gusty or changeable weather
Precision-built components for long-term reliability
