I need to find a rigger in N Florida

[stevo_002]

I am hoping for a recommendation for a rigger somewhere between Brunswick GA and somewhere in North Florida.

I am headed southbound in my Benneteau 36CC and in the blow yesterday the topping lift I use as a halyard for the anchor sail frayed and broke at the masthead. It is a new topping lift so seems there is something amiss with the sheave wheel perhaps. Maybe next one should be bigger / stronger ?

Anyway - inspection is needed and a new lift installed.

Yes - I know I should shimmy up the mast myself and check first to be sure but it is still blowing 20kt at anchor and I am singlehanded so I really don't want to

BTW, anchor sail has diminished the boat's skating ability - now only a 40 degree swing instead of the previous 120 swing at anchor. much less aggravation to the anchor and to my comfort.

So any advice is appreciated

Much thanks

Julian Crisp at Sparman USA did a fine job on my insurance work. He was recommended to me by a number of people and seems to be in demand around the region.

Julian has moved on to other ventures. He did some work for me as well and I have recommended him to others
