Inovation in a box,every cruising boat should carry one of these emergency standing rigging kits.

Actually its not a cable,its rope but very special rope made from synthetics,its twice the strength of the stainless wire it replaces but weighs only one sixth,so in the case of a yacht around 37ft,you can pick the entire standing rigging up with one hand! it costs about the same as 316 stainless,so the change to a better line and the massive saving in weight will cost you no more,so your boats extra performance and load carrying will cost you nothing extra,we will now offer this option to all our pre built and mast kit customers.
A word about Quality at Colligo Marine
Our Goal at Colligo Marine is to bring to market the highest quality product.
We strongly believe that "Quality Sells Itself" and that is our Mantra.
About our Safe Working Load (SWL)
We pull test a statistical sample of all of our products, manufactured or purchased components. The SWL is determined by us by the mechanical pull testing that we have completed by an independent lab.
Colligo Synthetic Systems
All of our Colligo Synthetic Systems hardware has a 2/1 design factor of safety (SWL is ½ of actual breaking strength). Finite element analysis is completed on our critical hardware along with pull testing to determine the actual breaking strength. All of the hardware in our Colligo Synthetic Systems line is Made in the USA.
