The Super Sail Arch, for larger cruising catamarans and big monohulls, boasts a capacity of over 1000 pounds, and is known as the “Swiss Army Knife” of sail yacht structures. Arches are finished in durable salt resistant bright clear anodizing and have the appearance and strength of a custom welded unit when installed on your boat.

HiLine Hardtop Systems

Highly finished composite structures, using individual professionally developed designs, unique to you and your yacht.

The Yacht Rigger is proud to have bought the production rights of the HiLine hard top system. We are fabricating HiLine hardtops in house right here in St Petersburg, Florida with full support from the wonderful folks at Atlantic Towers.

Atlantic Towers Hiline hardtop construction techniques make hardtop systems a reality for sailing vessels. Utilizing a family of unique custom aluminum extrusions combined with thin panels of hand laid fiberglass allows for virtually any shape any size hardtop system. Practical for cruising vessels from 30+ feet to large cockpits on sailing catamarans.

LIGHT WEIGHT: A typical ATL 6 hardtop system weighs less than 2 pounds per square foot. About ¼ to 1/3 the weight of traditional cored fiberglass hardtop systems.
GREAT VALUE: Typically one half the price of a molded fiberglass hardtop.
STRONG: One piece all welded construction, means no bolted connection between heavy fiberglass lid and legs.
FULLY ENGINEERED: structure means no on-site welding and fitting. Atlantic Towers hardtops arrive ready to install.
ENCLOSURE: fits easily in optional track system, with hardtop overhang to protect from rain and spray (dodger windshields and weather enclosure by others)
LONGER LIFE: from your enclosure. Fitting enclosures to a stable hardtop instead of a bimini reduces stress on zippers and fittings.
REINFORCED: to accept mounting of solar panels, access to the the rig, available non-skid walk areas for installing sail covers, etc.
CONCEALED WIRING: Exclusive ATL self trimming mounts and hollow frame allow concealment of cables and equipment mounting bolts.
CUSTOM DESIGN: for each customer and vessel, with available built in sunroofs, ladders, back stay gaskets, etc.

Contact us for a free consultation. If you decide to move forward a deposit get’s the design process started and we will provide you with 3 view CAD drawings which are typically modified and tweaked until we reach the ultimate design for you and your vessel.

Stephen does regular work for me on rigging. He is very knowledgeable and dependable. First rate!
Robert K

“

Steve and his crew listened to what we needed, then stopped by our just purchased 1997 Catalina 38 to look it over. In 10 minutes they diagnosed the issue, proposed a solution, removed the sail, gave me an estimate on money and time and off they went. Came in right on budget, hit the completion date on the mark, sent me photos to see the final product. Thoroughly professional and timely. I'd recommend these guys anytime, an will have them back on our boat as we need them for sure.
Mike Conroy

“

Extremely knowledgeable in repair or upgrades to not just rigging, but all systems of sailboats. Professional and prompt service. These guys have helped my wife and I outfit our boat for live aboard cruising. From rigging replacement to solar panel install and also repair of systems specific to our boat, we couldn't have done it without them. Fair, reasonably priced, and always available for questions. 5 stars plus, nothing more I can say.
Zach Duncan

“

These are the most professional guys I've met in the marine industry in St. Pete. They were very helpful in getting my boat ready for passage on a tight timeline. The job was done in time and on budget, but what really sets them apart is the fantastic communication. Highly recommend!

Great service. These guys are very knowledgeable.

ARCH INSTALLATION TIPS

Measure where you think The arch feet are going to land on the back of the boat, pick either the front or back leg landing positions and measure the span. Check for backing plate/nut access at these positions.
Assemble the arch laying on dock and slide the sides into the bridge evenly until the leg span you measured is Approx 5-6” wider than your goal span. Tape the joints at the bridge using masking tape to stop it sliding further in when you are test fitting.
Measure the “drop” from where you think the forward legs will land and the aft legs will land and trim the forward legs. Accordingly. I usually leave them a couple inches longer than I think they need to be, and do the final trim once I’m at the mocking up stage.
Assemble the arch feet and install them, using string to secure them to the arch legs using a rolling hitch.
Use a block and tackle or a truckers hitch to squeeze the legs together to match the span you are aiming for. No more than 6”.
Hoist arch into position using topping lift or main halyard (and two people) and test fit. At this point you can measure exactly how much you need to trim off the forward legs to make the arch fit level.
If the arch needs to sit lower, once you have it level, you can trim both legs the same amount. Keep in mind that as the arch gets shorter the span will narrow slightly due to the geometry of the arch.
Once you like the position, mark the feet in their positions using sharpie and lower the arch back to the dock. Release the block and tackle and drill/bolt the bridge. Drill and epoxy/bolt the feet into position.
Hoist the arch again and check all landing positions on feet one final time. Mark bolt holes on gelcoat and move arch out of the way for drilling. Try to pick the forward or aft feet and do them in pairs, pick whichever set you think will allow you to bolt it down securely then pivot the arch back or forward to do the other pair after (check orientation of arch feet for pivot ability).
Through bolt all feet and tighten. If fitting to an uneven surface, back fill the area behind the plate with thickened epoxy.
Tighten all bolts on foot bases.

Salt Creek Marina and Yard Rules & Regulations (DIY & Storage)

“Common Sense, Compliance with Laws, Consideration Toward Others” (January 1, 2023)

This agreement shall be effective on the date hereunder by and between the undersigned Owner or Agent of the vessel(s) hereinafter (“Vessel Owner”) described below and Salt Creek Marina, Inc. and The Yacht Rigger LLC located at 107 15th Ave SE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.

8/21/2023 UPDATE – If a hurricane system becomes a named storm and your boat is in one of our wet slips you MUST move it back to its original berth. The boat is not allowed to stay. The owner is responsible for planning with their preferred captain, or The Yacht Rigger has two captains on staff.

1. Fees:
The Yacht Rigger and Salt Creek Marina reserves the right to change its rates upon one (1) months’ notice.

Monohull DIY Dry Storage will be $900 monthly or $225 weekly, with a minimum of 1 week required. After the first 4 weeks, the rate will increase by $50 per week, for the remainder of the boat’s duration.
Monohull Wet Slip will be $1,100 monthly or $275 weekly, with a minimum fee of $100.
Catamaran Wet Slip will be $2200 monthly or $550 weekly.
Haul / Block / Relaunch – One Time Charge $12 per foot
Emergency Haulout – $25 per foot
Short Haul – – – Special Haul to be scheduled by The Yacht Rigger or approved contractor only + $175 contractor fee (includes normal haul out rate)

2. Insurance:

3. Hurricane & Summer Storm Season: June 1 – November 30
Haul out boats for storage or DIY work on the hard during this time are required to remove all canvas (including but not limited to Bimini, sail covers, dodgers, e.g.) as well as all sails on the boom or furlers. Remove all moveable equipment: canvas, sails, dinghies from davits, cushions, water toys, grills, biminis, roller furling sails, etc. Canvas and sails must be stored below and not on deck. Lash down everything you cannot remove tillers, wheels, booms.

4. Live Aboard – Wet Slip Only (Yacht Rigger Only Rule):
Starting January 1st, 2024, customers may NOT stay on their vessel during electrical refit work or other major modifications or upgrades down below. Due to the nature of these projects requiring major upheaval down below within your living space and the need for our teams to work efficiently. Rigging and “above deck” type work will permit liveaboards. As much as we would love to accommodate liveaboards during this time, it is simply too inefficient for us and expensive for you, the customer. For vessels with excessive items on board preventing efficient work, we will provide on-site storage pods at market rates.

5. Third Party Warranties:
This includes any warranty claim that is to be made against the original manufacturer or seller of the vessel or product. Should a warranty claim arise, The Yacht Rigger will estimate the job accordingly. It will then be up to the customer to obtain approval from the applicable 3rd party (boat manufacturer, spar manufacturer, etc.). If approved & immediately upon completion of the warranty issues, the customer is solely responsible for the payment of the work completed. It is then the responsibility of the customer to be reimbursed by the applicable 3rd party.

6. Yard Hours:
The boatyard hours are 8:00am to 6:00pm, Monday- Sunday. The boatyard gate locks at 6:00pm. You may come check on your vessel, re-secure rigging, canvas and pump out water during business hours. Please check in with the office if you are near closing hours.

7. Utilities:
Boatyard provides power & water to vessel owners as a part of their agreement so long as the owner fully adheres to all Rules and Regulations. When you are finished with the water hoses, turn them off and place them back neatly in the area you found them. Please ask a Salt Creek Marina Boatyard Employee for access to either option.

8. Outside Contractors/ Subcontractors
With Management approval (determined individually) contractors may work on a storage vessel for a fee of $40 a day in addition to monthly storage/dockage fee. The owner shall be responsible for informing the office of any subcontractor working on the vessel for any purpose whatsoever. The subcontractor shall submit insurance before any work can commence. Salt Creek Marina and/or The Yacht Rigger reserves the right at its sole discretion to stop unsafe work practices and if deemed necessary to order the offending worker(s) to leave the site at the Owner’s/Skipper’s sole risk and expense.
