How WE work

Our first step was to look at the cockpit and try to visualize how we would like to see it when finished. If you are planning your own install imagine what would be the most convenient (and stylish) location for your Halyard Hangers, how much space you would like each hanger to have? Where would you like your sheets or halyards to be when you need them? What areas would you like more space or less clutter? This is your yacht make it exactly how YOU want it!

The first step we took for this install is not necessary but it is a helpful way to plan your Halyard Hanger install. We took common blue painters tape and laid out the locations for our hangers. Placing painters tape allows you to see the lines and to mark locations without having to mark your yacht. On this particular yacht the cabin top bulk head has a nice sloping line, we wanted to follow this angle and laying the tape made this very easy.

Our Value

Let’s take a nautical adventure.

As you can see in the photo below marking on the tape allows you to make accurate marks and not mar your fiberglass. You also will want to check the reverse side (inside your yacht) and make sure you are going to drill into an area that is unobstructed.

The next step is the fun part, get your drill, and 11/64 drill bit and make those holes!

Our History

Halyard Hanger Step by Step Installation on Jeanneau 39i

We had the pleasure of recently installing six Halyard Hangers on a Jeanneau 39i, this was a fairly simple install which made a world of a difference. On our last post we saw only the before and after photos, here we will go into more detail and see a step by step install with photos. As you will see the cockpit organization, sheet and halyard organization, and general looks were all greatly improved.

First off, here is the before photo again, this is how the yacht first appeared; not bad but messy, disorganized, and overall not ideal.
