The Rigging Point - Jarcia para yates y superyates en Palma

The Rigging Point is a rigging company for yachts and superyachts in Mallorca, founded in 2013 by Dmitriy Bishayev and comprised of a team of 15 professionals with over 15 years of experience in the industry.

Handcrafted Work

In an era where so much is automated, The Rigging Point is committed to handcrafted work: splices, seams, finishes, and leather trim all made by experienced riggers. This is what sets superyachts and classic boats apart, where every piece is custom-made and the aesthetic finish matters just as much as durability.

When to Schedule a Rig Inspection

• Before buying a used sailboat: the rigging is a major expense.
• Every season, perform a visual check; every few years, have a complete professional inspection.
• After a storm, a hard grounding, or an impact to the mast.
• If you notice slack, noises, or deformities in the rigging.
• Before a long voyage or a busy charter season.

Why Palma Is a Rigging Hub

Every year, Palma hosts one of the largest gatherings of sailing superyachts in the Mediterranean, with regattas like the Superyacht Cup and a highly specialized refit industry. That’s why the city’s riggers work on top-tier vessels and bring their expertise to ports around the world.

How to Prepare for the Rigger’s Visit

• Have the rigging documentation on hand: mast manufacturer, measurements, and the date of the last rigging replacement.
• Make a note of any symptoms: noises, slack, or problems with the sails.
• Clear the deck of sails and covers so the rigger can work safely.
