DIY Sta-Lok Standing Rigging On An Old Sailboat | Sailboat Story 83

It’s time to replace the 38 year old standing rigging on our Endeavour 32 sailboat.

In this video, I replace the 4 lower shrouds. Those are the wires that run from deck-level, up to the height of the spreaders.

Ever since buying this sailboat, I’ve had thoughts of replacing the standing rigging. The decision was made for me when some of the wires were damaged during hurricane Irma.

This will be the biggest project we’ve tackled yet, and we’ll be doing all of the work ourselves.

Thanks for watching!!
