Our new Online Shopping Cart is now online!

A select group of Standing Rigging items are now available for online purchase. Please check out the new shopping cart at www.RiggingAndHardware.com.

We're very interested in any feedback you might have on the site, so please let us know what you think!

We will not be publishing a hard catalog for 2008.  If you would like a copy of our 2007 we'd be happy to mail one to you while supplies last.  Please remember the prices will not be accurate in the 2007.

                                                      

 

We now stock and swage wire up to 5/8 diameter for standing rigging and architectural projects.  Larger sizes are available. 

Metric wire and swage fittings are available for standing rigging applications.  We will be able to provide swaged standing rigging assemblies as well as mechanical terminals (assembled or you assemble) to meet your needs at an affordable cost.  Initial stock will be 8-10-12mm.  Note the bulk of these fittings will have imperial pin and thread dimensions.

Manufacturer's price increases are happening now.  Most prices on the site have now been updated, look for the 08 at the top of the page.  Note a few mfgs have already submitted price increases since this Jan.

Harken has introduced a MAP (minimum advertised price) policy.  This policy requires dealers to not advertise prices below specific levels.  Because of this policy and that we do not have a shopping cart on our site we are not able to display your actual purchase price on Harken gear.  If you are interested in Harken equipment you'll need to call or email for pricing.  Please note Forespar, Profurl, Lofrans, and Muir have the same policy and you will need to do the same.

Over the next few weeks we will have easily downloadable files by section to enable you to print hard copies of information you'd like to carry to your boat.

On line shopping is coming real soon!  I'm sure there will be lots of improvements needed in our initial attempt but you will have access to pricing on all of our mfg's products.

       E-Mail:  we're starting to see more returned E-mail as more systems and people install spam blockers, I guess we look like spam.  If you don't get an answer, it's not that we haven't tried.  Earthlink and AOL customers if you want your e-mail answered (returned) be sure and put us on your receiving list, we can't get through to you or use a different machine with a different service provider.  If you haven't received an answer in 2-3 days please call 508-992-0434

Comparing Prices:  At Rigging Only we encourage price comparison.  We have noticed that a few of our competitors are showing a lower per piece price, then charge you very high shipping rates.  This makes the total cost of the items significantly higher than you need to pay. 

Price Changes:  Being that so many products for our boats are now made in Europe the falling dollar is creating havoc in the market place.  Most importers are trying to maintain list prices the same or close to last year's thinking you'll find their products still attractive. What is actually happening is the reduction of discount structures on the wholesale level.  End result is you'll pay more, your discount structure will look less and hopefully we'll make close to the same money.  If the dollar continues to fall during 2005 expect mid year price increases.  Thanks for your patience and continued support.

Customer Comments

We thank you and your staff for your help and advise.  We are enjoying sailing more with the furler.                       M. & R. G., Chicago

All arrived safely and perfectly on time.  The lifelines are almost too pretty to put on the boat and it's a damn pretty boat.  The shrouds and backstay are superb and a perfect fit.  If anyone ever wants a referral about Rigging Only tell them to contact me.  R. A. , Curator, N. C.

Just a quick note to tell you how grateful I am.  The order was waiting for me when I arrived as promised.  All the parts were of top quality and the prices were more than reasonable.  I am recommending the services and products of Rigging Only to all my fellow charter captains of the Virgin Islands Charter League.  Capt. G. F.   USVI
