Andy and his crew at Northwest Rigging were instrumental in helping prepare my Stevens 47 "Passepartout" for the 2006 Vic Maui Race. We won our division in our first attempt and look forward to repeating this year. Andy's probably sailed these waters as much as any other sailor with 32 Trans Pacific voyages to his credit and he had a mountain of good ideas which we were able too capitalize on for our success.

I have been to many Ports up & down the West Coast and have experienced rigging shops in those various ports. No one has impressed or completed the job as thoroughly as Andy & his crew at Northwest Rigging for me & my Newport 27’. Without his extensive experience in racing and understanding of the requirements to tune our rig, I doubt that we would have won our class nor been voted Boat of the Year in the Anacortes Yacht Club for 2007.

It was a pleasure working with Andy and his crew at Northwest Rigging while preparing our Lord Nelson 41’ for some offshore miles. The advance planning was spot-on, and everything was smooth and professional from the removal of the mast right through replacement and rig tuning. Andy is an experienced blue water sailor and understands the importance of taking care of all the details. Northwest Rigging took good care of us and our boat.

Andy’s wealth of knowledge and sailing experience means that he has used virtually every product that is available on the market. This allows Northwest rigging to design the best solution for your boat based on their actual usage of these products. Unlike many riggers who never leave land, Northwest Rigging actively race sailboats locally and nationally which keeps them exposed to the state of the art developments in the field. They can definitely walk the talk. I rely on Andy for creative, effective, and reliable solutions to allow my Express 27 to race competitively in the Pacific Northwest.
