Professional rigger Mike Cipolla of Cipolla Spars and Rigging demonstrates the process of fabricating new standing rigging for the sailboat Miss Lone Star.2:01 The procedure utilizes a wire-technic rotary swage machine to cold-roll forge 3/16-inch stainless steel cable into aircraft-style fork fittings.2:30 Proper swaging requires a 10% reduction in the fitting's outside diameter to ensure structural integrity; insufficient reduction risks cable pull-out, while over-crimping can cause internal fitting failure.5:58 The process involves measuring the new cable against the old backstay, marking the swage line, and cutting the wire with Felco cutters.6:26 Cipolla emphasizes inspecting existing rigs for longitudinal or circumferential cracks in fittings, broken wire strands, and corrosion.9:54 He recommends applying passivization cream or metal wax to stainless steel fittings to prevent oxidation and maintain the protective chromium layer.11:05 The expert advises against over-engineering a vessel, suggesting that owners replace rigging to original design specifications rather than attempting drastic modifications.14:43
