Understanding the rigging on your yacht and how it is configured is essential, starting from the moment it is brand new. I spoke with Cyclops Marine’s Ben Hazeldine to learn more about how their load cells can assist with this.
Getting your rig set correctly from the beginning, when you first step the mast, can help prevent wear by ensuring it operates within its safe working loads and performs optimally. With a Cyclops load cell, you can verify that your setup aligns with the manufacturer’s specifications.
This provides sailors with peace of mind, confirming that when they take their new yacht out for the first time, they are within safe limits, it will function as intended, and avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
