Rig Inspection | Rigging Inspection of our Aluminium Catamaran | Sailing with the James's (Ep. 80)

We are getting the boat prepared and ready to head out to sea cruising, but before we undo our lines and push off the docks, we are doing a rigging inspection. Today we are sending our captain, Sam, up the mast. We do a rig inspection every 6 months and today is inspection day. Sam is headed up and will be checking the rig for broken wires, stress cracks, and to make sure the the rigging is in good condition. ________________ Welcome to Sailing with the James's!
