Rigging safety starts with awareness - and ends with action. That's why Technical Marine Supplies have launched the Check it, Tune it, Trust it campaign: an initiative to raise awareness of rigging maintenance among boat owners, and to encourage you to take preventative action before problems arise.
Rigging is the backbone of any sailing vessel, yet its condition is often overlooked until failure occurs. The campaign encourages owners to take a structured, preventative approach to rigging health, in collaboration with local riggers, leading hardware manufacturers and marine surveyors.
From terminals and turnbuckles to spreaders and stays, you should engage with a local professional, who'll advise on what to look for - and when to act.
By educating owners on these timely tasks, raising awareness that a yacht's rigging is a consumable, and offering expert support, TMS aim to extend the service life of rigging and improve onboard safety. Whether you're preparing for a season of coastal cruising or gearing up for offshore passage making, Check it, Tune it, Trust it is your first step toward peace of mind.
Backed by TMS' technical expertise and nationwide network of rigging professionals, TMS is proud to support safer sailing. TMS is the leading distributor of high performance marine rigging and hardware. With a strong technical foundation and a commitment to quality, it supports rigging professionals from specification through to installation.
As proud members of the British Stainless Steel Association, TMS upholds the highest standards in material integrity and best practice, often advising surveying bodies and insurance assessors, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner in the European rigging supply chain.
