Running rigging
Running rigging on sailing yachts: sheets and halyards, wear signs, and FairHelm survey reading without inventing rope life years.
Co to jest
Running rigging is the movable rope and line system that controls sails: sheets, halyards, reef lines, and travellers, as opposed to standing wire or rod.
Anchor
UV, winch drums, and clutch teeth age rope on Baltic boats that sit unused midweek. FairHelm looks for glazing, core shoot, and mismatched diameters in clutches.
FairHelm judgment
FairHelm judgment: pretty colour does not equal strength. Soft covers at winches and stiff cores are price items. Standing-rigging age is a separate ticket from rope cosmetics.
Limits
We do not invent a single replacement year for all lines. Load, UV, and material differ. Inspect by use and feel.
Najczęściej zadawane pytania
Q: Is running rigging the same as standing rigging?
A: No. Standing holds the mast. Running moves sails.
Q: Can I reuse old sheets as dock lines?
A: Sometimes for light duty. Do not trust heavily chafe-worn rope for critical loads.
Q: Do dyneema cores hide cover wear?
A: Cover can fail first. Check both cover and core.
