The rig is the backbone of your sailboat, and failure offshore can be catastrophic. Steve Madden, owner of M Yacht Services and M Rigging in Annapolis, has built his career around helping sailors prepare boats for the toughest conditions. From his early racing days off South Africa’s Indian Ocean coast to managing rigging projects for yachts on World Cruising rallies, Steve knows what it takes to keep a mast standing and safe.

In this session, he’ll walk through rigging inspections, common failure points, upgrade options, and preventative strategies to ensure your rig is reliable when you need it most. This is essential knowledge for anyone preparing for bluewater sailing.
