New England Yacht Rigging specializes in all types of rigging, including nitronic rod, wire, rope, and all the accoutrement necessary for any boat to do a bit of yachting—whether racing, cruising, or anywhere in between.

Although NEYR is located in RI, Kyle can procure or build whatever you need and get it out to you, no matter where your boat is located, including halyards, sheets, furlers, whatever! For 2025 ALIR participants, New England Yacht Rigging has graciously agreed to a 10% discount off all parts and labor. Just mention the code phrase “the ollllldddd Sara” to Kyle when you reach out. He will also honor the discount if you tell him your name is Captain Ron Rico.
