Find vetted riggers & sailmakers serving New Orleans, LA and the surrounding Louisiana, USA area. All free to browse, free to message, free to hire.
New Orleans sits on the Mississippi River with Lake Pontchartrain to the north. The city's marine industry draws on deep commercial shipping expertise — the welders, diesel mechanics and marine electricians here cut their teeth on tugs, barges and supply boats before ever touching a yacht.
Rigging holds the mast up and the sails set. A failed swage, a corroded turnbuckle or a blown-out sail at the wrong moment can end a race or an ocean crossing. The rigger you choose needs to know the loads, the hardware and the specific rig design on your boat.
