Navtec has completed the full rigging refit of 40m Vaimiti. Designed by Fauroux in 2003 and built by Trehard Shipyard, she has a relentless sailing calendar and therefore downtime is very costly and must be minimised.
Thanks to the efforts of the Navtec Sud Europe team and Performance Gréement, the whole refit was completed in an astonishing 14 days.
The Lorima mast was first unstepped by Performance Gréement team on 31 May. In the following 10 days, Navtec replaced all lateral rod rigging, along with head- and backstays. In addition, brand new Kevlar 25T runners were manufactured on-site in Mandelieu before the mast was restepped and tuned on 12 June.
