Rigger In Northern Virginia

Does anyone know of a rigger in Northern Virginia, possibly in Manassas?

TIA

Re: Rigger In Northern Virginia

Are you looking for a marine rigger or a general rigger? If you want a boat rigger, you need to go where the boats are docked. And not too many are docked in Manassas. What specifically are you after?

Sailboat rigger.

I had heard there was a rigger operating out of Manassas or somewhere in Northern Virginia, which wouldn't be far away.

Ask Potomac Sailmaker's in Alexandria.


Otherwise, I would figure on Annapolis or Deale, MD.

Check the yards at Deltaville. Krentz at Callao may still be operating. They would know who is up in the Neck

But honestly, it is hard enough to find an engine mechanic anywhere on the Potomac. If you are in NOVA and looking for a rigger, your best bet is Annapolis (with multiple options). I still can’t figure how a rigger could operate out of Manassas without putting many miles on his mobile van workshop.

I highly recommend Keith Horn in Deltaville, if you don't mind going that far. He did a nice job on re-rigging our boat and he is pleasant to work with.

Krentz Marine Railway in Callao is still in operation, but they don't have a rigger. They do have a good mechanic.

It appears that Furling & Rigging [Manassa, VA] fabricate lifelines & standing rigging; but don't install.
However: “We can help locate a marina or independent rigger ...”

We used harney this summer to replace our standing rigging. He did a great job. I have no complaints, and would recomend him as well
