From the early design stages of the project, right through to sea trials, delivery and service, Andy Kitchener has always been on hand to provide valuable and specialist support to help us make the right design decisions and get the right results for our project. We have worked with Andy for many years, and consider him to be among the very best in the business.

In 2005 Andrew was employed by Marten Spars to dress, step and tune the rig aboard Adele. This was undertaken in freezing conditions and ankle-deep in snow but despite this, Andrew accomplished the task on time and with quite good humour. I was, and remain, extremely impressed with the quality and quantity of Andrews work. He gives 100% commitment to each job - when he couldn't find a flight from Spain to Sweden to attend the vessel for a rig tune, he hopped in a car and drove to Sweden. This exemplifies the man and his ethic!

7C Rigging have been responsible for all of our service work relating to the mast, running rigging and often the standing rigging on board the 46m carbon sloop Pink Gin for many years. It has always been a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable and dedicated team who often go beyond the norm to ensure that deadlines are met and importantly that expenditure is kept within budget. I would not hesitate to recommend them and indeed look forward to seeing them on board again soon.

Andrew and Nancy Kitchener of 7C Rigging have been involved with the Sarissa program from build. Sarissa is a full carbon 42.6m performance sloop, and was launched by Vitters Shipyard in 2011 with a Southern Spar rig package including full continuous ECsix rigging. I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew Kitchener for many years, and so I was delighted to have Andrew and his team handle the new-build project in Holland. With a wealth of experience specialising in large yacht spar packages, Andrew is always our first point of call for any rig related project on Sarissa. I can wholeheartedly recommend 7C Rigging for any large sailing yacht rigging project. From new builds to quality repairs and refits, 7C Rigging should be your first point of call.
