Take a closer look at the inspection and maintenance of standing rigging — a critical component for both safety and sailing performance. In this video, we focus on how our teams monitor and maintain rigging systems, including cables, turnbuckles, chain plates, and mast fittings. These elements are essential to the structural integrity of the yacht and require regular attention throughout the season. Routine visual checks are carried out frequently, including after charters, to quickly identify any signs of wear or damage. During the winter maintenance period, rigging tension is carefully measured and adjusted using specialized tools to ensure optimal performance. In addition, independent professional inspections are conducted annually, often in line with insurance requirements, providing an extra level of verification and safety. As part of the phase-out process, a final detailed inspection ensures that all rigging is in proper condition — ready for safe sailing and the yacht’s next chapter. #YachtManagement #BoatMaintenance #YachtOwnership #Sailing #Rigging

Take a closer look at the systems that control anchoring and sailing performance — from the windlass to the sails. In this video, we focus on the inspection and maintenance of key deck equipment that plays a vital role in both safety and handling. The windlass, used for anchoring operations, is carefully tested to ensure smooth operation, proper load handling, and reliability when it matters most. At the same time, our teams inspect the sails to assess their condition after a full charter season. This includes checking for wear, damage, and overall performance to determine whether maintenance or replacement is required. Together, these systems are essential for safe manoeuvring, efficient sailing, and overall ease of use on board. As part of the phase-out process, all checks are carried out to ensure the yacht is fully operational and ready for its next journey — whether continuing in charter or transitioning to private use. #YachtManagement #BoatMaintenance #YachtOwnership #Sailing #CatamaranLife

Not everything on a yacht is replaced — so what is considered normal wear and tear? In this video, we take a closer look at how wear and tear is assessed throughout a yacht’s charter life, and what owners can expect at the end of the phase-out process. After multiple seasons and frequent charters, certain signs of use are natural. Our teams carefully evaluate the condition of each vessel, distinguishing between cosmetic aging and elements that require repair or replacement to maintain safety and performance. From interior finishes to exterior surfaces and equipment, this process ensures a fair and transparent approach when preparing the yacht for handover or its next stage. Understanding wear and tear is an important part of yacht ownership, helping set realistic expectations while ensuring the vessel remains reliable, well-maintained, and ready for continued use. #YachtManagement #YachtOwnership #BoatMaintenance #Sailing #CatamaranLife

This week on SV GOAT: a Furuno SCX-20 satellite compass joins the nav suite, the TZT XL 13 gets its latest firmware, and the Harley comes out for a run down the Spanish coast. First up, the SCX-20 install — mounting, wiring, NMEA 2000 integration, and why a satellite compass quietly outperforms a magnetic fluxgate on a boat full of steel, lithium, and electronics. No gimbals, no deviation, no recalibration after every alternator install. Then a walkthrough of the new TZT XL 13 software update. What changed, what didn't, and whether it's worth sitting through the install. And to close it out, we trade the dock lines for two wheels — Harley out, coast road, Mediterranean sun. A reminder that not every good day on the water happens on the water. 🛠 GEAR IN THIS EPISODE Furuno SCX-20 Satellite Compass Furuno TZT XL 13" MFD Harley Davidson 110 2016 Slim S ⛵ ABOUT SV GOAT Liveaboard life on a Lagoon 400 catamaran in the Med.
