new Rigg on SM2000
|
Eloi Bamberg
Hallo, Im am in the process of buying a SM2000 from 2004. The standing rigg has to be changed. Amel in Hyères proposed to me the company "Sea Nergie Nautic" (former Rousseau) to do the work. They made a quite interesting offer with fittings from ACMO but the cables would not be from ACMO but from WDI in Germany. Does anybody have experiences with those cables or would you recommend to use cables from ACMO. Many thanks for your help. Eloi SM 2000 #426 (hopefully in 3 Weeks)

Hi Eloi,
We had Pen Azen rerigged 4 years ago by X-Voiles in Hyeres on the recommendation of Amel. Very professional job. They took both masts off the boat. When they finished the boss and I sailed for about 5 hours while he carried out the final tweaks.
They , too, used ACMO fittings but bought the cables direct from Germany. As I recall it, the one German supplier is the company that everyone uses--including ACMO themselves.
We rerigged after 16 years and about 50,000 miles, which was stretching things a bit, though the old rig was in good condition. Having a new rig tweaked by a pro made a noticeable difference to our sailing performance.

Hi Eloi,
I just changed my standing rigging at Seanergie Hyeres. And as you said, it's ACMO fittings with WDS cables. I actually didn't challenged that part. My standing rigging was from 1989, and when they removed it, they could confirm it was still in excellent conditions. Still, we wanted to be safe, and 30 years is a good life already. If I may ask, how do you know your rigging has to be changed? (2004 looks young compare to our SR) I can't answer your question about quality of these cables. Just one point, Seanergie warned me that today, cables are made with a small part of carbon for some reason. And this material can give a slight "rusty acpect" quite quickly. But it's not real rust, and has no impact on the solidity/longevity of the cables. cheers Alex

Hello,
I thought almost all SS câbles came from KOS of Korea and has good reputation with riggers. What is the brand of the German cables ? Fair winds Denis Ex Meltem 32 Envoyé de mon iPhone

I’ve also been told that the best wire comes from Korea.
