We utilize the latest state of the art solar panels and build custom frames in house out of light weight marine grade bright anodized aluminium. (Stainless steel frame fabrication is also available if requested). Our goal is to maximize your vessel’s solar potential whilst maintaining minimalist concepts to create a beautiful, and highly functional end product.

If you need your standing rigging replaced, look no further. We offer full service standing rigging replacement, either mast down or mast up depending on the rigging configuration and project requirements. We only use top of the line marine grade stainless steel products, and our A350 swaging machine can handle swaging up to 5/8″ (16mm) wire.

While your mast is down we can assess and repair or replace any electronics, and our fab team can make necessary repairs to your mast itself if needed. We have wet slips on site available by appointment, so you can come right here to our facility at Salt Creek Marina in St Pete. Let our team renew your rigging and get back out on the water sailing safely.

Servicing your winches regularly not only improves their longevity, but also greatly improves performance. Correctly cleaned and lubricated winches will operate faster, and require less force when grinding.

We can service all of your winches professionally, on site, in a matter of a few hours. We carry parts for most major brands and can source parts for almost any winch out there today.

Our riggers are highly competent splicers, capable of splicing any line in a given application. From basic polyamide docklines, to covered Vectran, we can assist you in selecting the correct line for the correct application. Be it a weight saving halyard for a race boat, or a topping lift for a cruiser, look no further than TYR.

At TYR we can supply all hardware relating to your mast and deck, for all brands of masts. Our team of expert riggers will guide you through getting the right equipment for your boat.

We supply many top of the line models of headsail furlers, including Selden Furlex and Harken. TYR can also provide servicing and spare parts for existing systems to ensure efficiency and reliability.

We supply a full range of blocks, clutches, cars and travelers from the leading brands Spinlock, Harken, Selden, and Ronstan. Be it a cruising boat wanting to maximize ease of use for all of running systems, or a high performance dinghy or racing yacht wanting to minimize weight, we will provide a product suited to your needs.

If you are in the market to buy a sailboat, give us a call and ask about our pre-purchase consultation service. Far too many of our clients have purchased vessels that are either too much for them to handle or too small for their long term plans. We have decades of sailing and cruising experience, combined with decades in the field doing repairs and modifications and can certainly help you to make the right purchase, or at least set you in the right direction. We can also perform a pre-purchase rigging survey as most marine surveyors do not climb masts and therefore cannot tell you the true condition of your vessel’s rigging.
