Rigging & Commissioning

MAST & BOOM PAINTING

If it is time to paint your mast and boom, having a professional spray job makes a big difference to the finished product.  If your rigging has not been thoroughly checked and serviced for several years this is the optimum time to do it.  Depending on the condition of the mast and your budget we can either mask off the fittings or remove everything before spraying, followed by re-installing all fittings and light fixtures. 

 

COMMISSIONING

Shelter Island Marina is a very popular destination for long distance boat movers.  There is lots of room for their trucks and trailers, including overnight parking if they arrive out of hours.  As a result we see boats arriving from all over North America on a regular basis.

 

We can help with commissioning your boat, whether it is power or sail.   These are some of the services we can take care of for you.  It may save you valuable vacation time.
