Newcastle Yacht Rigging and Sails

Patrick and his team recently replaced standing and running rigging on my Jarkan 10.5 Patrick takes the time to listen to what you want to do with your boat and suggests options to suit. He doesn't try and upsell, is happy to have you participate and learn as the jobs get done. Very happy with the work, trustworthy, flexible, experienced and professional.

It was our lucky day when we chose to ring Patrick after reading reviews on his website & we were certainly not disappointed. We were a couple of days from having to leave the lake & needed quick repairs. Less than an hour after the call we had the boat at Toronto & Patrick was up the mast. So helpful with great advice & such a nice man. We will be spreading the word about the 5star service at Newcastle Yacht Rigging & Sails

What a legend! Patrick couldn't have been more helpful, and his advice saved me potential problems in the future. I couldn't be happier with my rigging, and with Patrick's level of service. Thanks again. Very highly recommended.

Patrick has worked on our boats over a number of years. This has included sail repairs and re rigging masts.
His knowledge and advice on rigging especially has been invaluable.

Thanks Paddy and Liam for the top notch work you both did on our boat. Your enthusiasm and knowledge of your craft shows in the quality of the works you completed for us. Both Ronda and I are pretty new to sail boat ownership and we were both happy to go with your recommendations on rope choices for our running rigging, the different options we had and the pricing of each. Not once were we made to feel pressured in anyway, you just laid out the pros and cons of each and went with our choices happily, an experience that seems pretty rare in the maritime industry. And who knew that riggers installed radars and mast head lights? ! We certainly didn't! And a special thank you Paddy for helping Ronda sort her sail bag, that was very decent of you and much appreciated, it looks and works fantastic now. The best to both of you, with your level of service and quality workmanship we think you guys have a great future.

Patrick recently did a complete re-rigging of my yacht. He exceeded my expectations with his service, workmanship and use of quality products at a very reasonable price. His expertise in setting up the rigging correctly has completely transformed how the boat performs. He even invited me offshore sailing and his sharing of his years of experience and knowledge was amazing.

Have had a sail modified and parts ordered. Found to be very professional, very honest and good on price. Easy to deal with and no nonsense would highly recommend!

A recent replacement of the standing rigging on my mast proved to be a much more positive experience than I first envisaged.
With Patrick’s professional attitude, his knowledge, skills and enthusiasm the job was done thoroughly, promptly and at avery fair price.
I am now much more confident with my rig when the wind blows up and the racing gets tougher.

Thanks Pat,

Excellent workmanship. Took time to make sure we got everything done and everything done properly. Ver pleased and happy we went to these guys.

Great attention to detail & Patrick always goes the extra mile to deliver great customer service - so far he's restitched our sails; repaired & refitted our furler; even made up some dinghy strops for us - exceptionally easy to deal with & highly recommended

Great service- Patrick pushes himself above and beyond to make sure you never miss a race - sails are picked up, repaired, returned - always with advice you can trust, and always in time. When you deal with this business you are dealing directly with the owner, who personally oversees your job. Another big plus - you can be confident that the expertise is up to date and without par; based on years of professional sailing and rigging experience.

Patrick has been looking after the rigging and sail repair for my boat for the last few years. This has included campaigns to Hobart, Noumea, Gold Coast and Hamilton Island. He has understood the complexity of the rig and stresses. He approaches the maintenance in a sensible and thoughtful way so as to minimise breakage in a very commercial and reliable manner. I would recommend you discuss your rigging and sail requirements with Patrick.

Patrick & Liam (Newcastle Yacht Rigging & Sails) recently did a full service of my 30yr old Northshore 31 mast rigging and headsail Furler. Patrick gave me a quote that would cover any contingency for unseen problems of Original Furler and Electrical Wiring. Not having known Patrick I have been greatly pleased with his practicality and honest opinions of the work required, his understanding of how I use the boat helped in what changes and upgrades to make during service of the mast. We came in under budget and I am very happy with the result knowing I have many years of sailing before needing to revisit the primary rigging.
Since then I have used Patrick for repairs and advice for my Headsails, one of which is coming to end of life.
Patrick’s depth of knowledge and understanding of sailing will be helpful to any of his future clients and I appreciated the service given by Patrick and Liam.

Patrick inspected our rigging and mast when purchasing our Mottle 33 at Lake Macquarie. Having not been touched in over 15 years, Patrick gave us a full run down on what we needed and a very reasonable quote. He did an excellent job, communicating with us at each step and went above and beyond what was needed to be done. We are very happy with our new rigging. I would highly recommend Patrick and his team for all your rigging and sail needs.

Patrick and his team have been a pleasure to deal with. I originally had my boat booked in to get the rig redone, but it sold. Pat contacted the new owner and organised everything with him, including getting the yacht on a truck to Melbourne!
Fantastic service and I've already recommended to a friend who is booked in to get their yacht re-rigged.

What a great guy to know on the water, Patrick has helped me with sails and rigging through the last ten years with 3 different boats over that time. Patrick has always been helpful, professional and reliable, willing to help at any time and tells it straight! Patrick has thorough knowledge of sails, rigging and boating generally, and I've always found him fair and reasonable. Alek P

I highly recommend ‘Newcastle Yacht Rigging and Sails. ’ Patrick displays a professional passion for yachting, provides expert knowledge, quality workmanship, accurate quoting and always happy to share and teach his skills. This included new rigging x2, sails, covers and providing valuable lessons along the way.

I did major damage to my headsail, and Patrick did an amazing job both in taking all my sails off the boat, re-stitching and renewing halyards, sheets and UV strips. He is excellent to work with and I would highly recommend him for any sail or rigging repair.
