Yacht standing rigging comprises the fixed lines, wires, or rods, that support each mast or bowsprit on a sailing vessel and reinforce those spars against wind loads transferred from the sails. This term is used in contrast to running rigging, which represents the movable elements of rigging that adjust the position and shape of the sails. At Martin Leaning Masts and Rigging, we are experts in all types of rigging and can help you enhance, maintain and replace your rigging.
Standing rigging is a critical component of a sailboat’s mast support system, ensuring stability and performance. Over time, rigging deteriorates due to metal fatigue, corrosion, and wear, making replacement essential for safety and efficiency. This guide covers the key steps to replacing standing rigging, whether with the mast up or down.
Most insurance companies recommend replacing standing rigging every 10 years, though well-maintained rigging can last up to 20 years. Signs that replacement is necessary include:
Inspect the Existing Standing Rigging. Conduct a thorough masthead-to-deck inspection to identify worn components. If the mast is stepped, use a bosun’s chair to check fittings at height.
Replacing yacht standing rigging may seem daunting, but following a structured approach ensures a safe and efficient upgrade. However, if this process feels too complex or time-consuming, the team at Martin Leaning offers professional yacht rigging services to handle everything for you.

T/EYE TOGGLE FOR ROPE RUNNERS AND CHECKSTAYS When replacing traditional wire runners or checkstays with lightweight Dyneema core, keep your existing backing plate and add a T/Eye toggle. Seldén T-terminals must only be used in Seldén backing plates. A mix of Seldén terminals and non-Seldén backing plates, and the other way around, is a severe safety risk and will void any possible warranty and responsibility from Seldén.

What Are Bridle Plates? Bridle plates are triangular metal plates used in backstay systems. They allow a single backstay to split into two equal sections, which then attach to chainplates on either side of the transom. This setup enhances rigging stability and helps maintain proper sail shape. Seldén Mast is known for its high-quality rigging hardware, and bridle plates are an essential component in backstay systems. These plates help distribute load efficiently, ensuring stability and durability in sailing applications. Key Features of Seldén Bridle Plates High-Strength Construction – Made from stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability. Optimized Load Distribution – The triangular design ensures even force distribution, reducing stress on the rigging. Multiple Hole Diameters – Available in various sizes to accommodate different wire diameters and backstay configurations. Versatile Applications – Suitable for keelboats and offshore yachts, providing secure and reliable rigging solutions.
