Hi Eric,  I mean besides fabricating and installing actual rigging.  The posts from the others about the genoa being installed on the wrong slot reminded me of the wiring mix up.  

I helped put the genoa back on sovwe didn't havecthe foil issue, but it seemed that there were a lot of "helper" class workers that probably needed a bit more supervision.  Noting bad, but as with any major work you want to be present.  I think it makes everyone pay attention.  

It was my fault for going to eat a pizza at Mango Bay and not noticing that they had returned from lunch....beer and pretty waitresses....

Hi John,

What do you mean by “associated work needs more attention”?

Hi Eric,

   I had my rigging down also in March 2017,  Caraibe did a good job, I think the rig looks good.  Only complaint was the genoa furling motor wired backwards.  Not a big deal and easy fix.  Materials and metal work very good, associated work needs more attention.

Hello Ken,

 

I caught them putting the genoa on the starboard track… they had to make it right.  But I took time to explain why the genoa had to go on port track.  It should not happen again for an Amel.

Hello Eric,

 

Gaetan Rivet Caraibe did my standing rigging 5 months ago.  Looks good, and was a bit more than 10K euros for the entire job.  The only thing I could complain about is that they put the genoa on the ballooner track.  I didn't find this out until I wanted to fly the ballooner..  :( 

 

Was very pleased with their service.

Hi Eric,

   I just had Caraibe rerig SM 37.  They were fast and efficient.  You might save some $$ on VAT by talking to Douglas Rapier at Douglas Yacht Services.  I obtained a VAT exemption certificate from him that covered all the work and purchases for my refit in Marin.

 

Regards,  John
