replacement rigging

Hi José,
Wow - that certainly adds a lot to the equivalent insurance cost. A shame insurance options are few. Best regards. -- Craig Briggs - s/v Sangaris / SN68 Tropic Isle Harbor, FL |

Jose Hi
I changed my rigging in 2020 and decided for BSI. Both ACMO and BSI are very good. I have no issues. Jarek SY NOA BLUE SM 201 |

Pantaenius cancelled our insurance as they were leaving the US market about 18mo ago. As EU residents, we requested coverage for for our boat in the Med. They refused as our boat is USCG flagged and they said they would not cover USCG flagged boats. I know many Amels are not US flagged, and for them, it's a good choice. If US flagged, I wouldn't waste my time... Drew Revelation SM390 Lying Carloforte, Sardinia On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 11:50 AM Bartłomiej Czarciński <bartek@...> wrote:

Hi Jose,
My insurance just requires a rigging check from a respectable rigger. My rigging is 10 years and that isn't any problem. Regards, Joan Caconano Amel 55-05 |

Craig hi Just insurance company requires this to minimize their risk exposure. For me don´t make any sense, all visible standing rigging is perfect !.... but they insist ..... 10 years.... Regards José Alegria A55#003MERIT Hi José, |

Hi José,
I am curious as to why you think 10 years is time to replace your rigging. Some common reasons may include:
I would definitely recommend ACMO - especially if you're in Europe. I did 1992 Santorin at 18 years (2010) when an aft lower mizzen broke at the lower swage while sailing off Sicily. Used ACMO and did the work myself - only about $6,000 US. Eleven years later (2021) I did it again after a mizzen backstay broke, also at the lower swage; this time it was just sitting at the dock! Used US riggers in Ft Lauderdale, Nance and Underwood, who used a variety of suppliers, Hayne, Sta-loc, etc. and I had them provide the labor - cost $12,000 US. Used all Sta-loc fittings on lower end of stays (except headstay, of course). If you use ACMO, I would recommend paying a modest upcharge to have them supply mechanical fittings (at least on the bottoms) instead of all swaged. They have their own proprietary mechanical fittings, which are quite similar to the Norseman brand (which I believe is no longer in business). Craig SN68 Sangaris, Tropic Isle Harbor, FL |

Here is what I think: I choose ACMO. They are real quality. But use ACMO, if for no other reason the wire will be cut to exact OEM measurements and will be the last spec that Amel gave them. Some of you know that Amel changed the specifications on the A54 twice. If you did not buy ACMO rigging, your rigger would have not known this and he would have used the same wire that you had. If the wire is from ACMO, it is much easier for the rigger to "tune" it correctly, if he cuts the wire himself, well, you know. I negotiated a discount for my clients with ACMO. I receive nothing from ACMO. Email Laetitia Boudon <Laetitia@...>. Tell her I gave you her contact info.
