Standing rigging - France
|
Mark Barter
We are now the very proud new owners of Nunky which is SM110 from 1993.
Despite her age Nunky is in incredible condition due to the care her former owner lavished on her. As an example, he would only wear white below decks. Anyway, the only major work required is replacement of the standing rigging. I have a quote for the rigging from ACMO but I need a rigger in The South of France. Nunky is currently in Golfe Juan for the winter. If anyone can recommend a rigger I would be very grateful. Many thanks

Hi Mark
Congratulations! Bet you guys are really excited! There are riggers in Canet but I don’t know if they are any good I am afraid.

Hi Andrew,
We are very excited. We kissed a few frogs before we came across Nunky but it was worth it. I am looking forward to participating in this community. I should be able to add quite a bit because the former owner was an incredible engineer and some of the modifications he made are very clever. Kind regards Mark -- Mark & Nicky Barter S/V Nunky SM 110

Hi Mark ,

Welcome to the Amel world . We used the riggers recommended by Amel’s Hyeres office . They really know their stuff . Can’t remember the name of the company but a call to Sonja in that office will direct you to them .

Mark, I am very happy that this worked out for you. I have a Preferred Vendor in Malta who often travels Europe to install rigging. I highly recommend that you contact Nicky Sammut to install your ACMO rigging: ACMO is a recommended Preferred Vendor and will give you a discount. Be sure to share that quote with me to insure the discount. Nicky has replaced ACMO rigging with ACMO kits on many SMs and 54s. He has also replaced Bamar Furlers on 54s with new generation Bamar and with Reckman furlers. I can assure you that you will not find a better rigger anywhere. He routinely works in Malta at Manoel Island Yacht Yard, which is also a Preferred Vendor and a great yard to haulot. Be sure to tell these Preferred Vendors that you are a client of mine in order to receive your discount.

Hi Mark and Congratulations -
Suggest you do it yourself for 3 reasons: you'll do it right, you'll learn your rigging, you'll have fun. Oh, and you'll save money. FWIW, Craig

Hi Mark;
I second Bill’s remarks. Nicky has replaced rigging and performed other work on Kokomo. He is as conscientious and fast, as they come. I would highly recommend him.
Happy Sailing;

Congratulations to you. I am in the market for an SM and looked at Nunky a few times online. The deck looks simply amazing for her age, (redone in recent times perhaps?) and attention to detail was noticeable throughout the photos. May she keep you safe and happy:)

Yes, the decks are amazing. The former owner was an absolute perfectionist so the level of workmanship is outstanding.

Hi Mark
I was in Golfe Juan the other day and saw that you had a very nice arch installed. Would you mind sharing who did that great work for you? Note that we are almost neighbors 😁 Philippe Chatton SM 445 Port Vauban - Antibes
