Why crews call us

A Caribbean rigging practice should feel discreet, technical, and deeply reliable.

This concept positions the business as a senior-led service company that values clean execution, thoughtful communication, and decks that work beautifully under pressure.

Brand language:

Quiet confidence, measured detail, and a premium tone that still feels practical in a salty working environment.
Positioning

Built for owners who want fewer unknowns.

TradeWind is framed as the team you call when the rig needs attention but the boat also needs a plan, a sequence, and a responsible technical voice that can coordinate with yards and crew.

Common questions

FAQ content for owners and captains.

This gives the site some depth and search value without turning it into a blog.

Do you work dockside or only during haul-out?

Both. Many tune-ups, surveys, and running-rigging upgrades happen dockside; structural spar work is coordinated around yard access when needed.

Can you help before an insurance survey or crossing?

Yes. That is one of the most common calls: review the existing setup, flag priority items, and help sequence what needs to happen first.

Is this aimed only at race boats?

No. Cruising owners, private captains, management teams, and charter fleets all need reliable, well-documented rigging support.

How quickly can a project be scoped?

For most enquiries, an initial review and project outline can be turned around within a couple of business days once the vessel details arrive.
