Pacific Offshore Rigging, San Diego CA

I recently purchased a beautiful Columbia 36Mk II as a first time owner. This purchase to me was the culmination of a dream, the reward of devoting many years of devotion and sacrifice as a US Marine. I made inquiries to 4 repair companies in the area, Janie at Pacific Coast Rigging was the only thoughtful reply. I spoke with Jamey over the phone, after listening to my description he spent a few minutes explaining that the typical repair for an older boat like mine could be quite costly. As my boat is almost 50 years old, I was anticipating that possibility, and even (foolishly I thought in the immediate aftermath) tipped my hand by telling him I had about $4000 set aside for that repair alone. Kasey came out to inspect my problem and told me that it was actually much better than he expected, and told me unless she had any hidden issues should be only a couple hours to repair. We scheduled for a return visit to do the work a week later. As I still live in Phoenix this would require another commute to San Diego. The following day Pacific Coast Rigging called me back, and said sinceto save me a trip they made some schedule adjustments and wanted to know if they could come out that afternoon. Needless to say, I was elated.

The final outcome? I ended up paying 5% of what my anticipated cost was, even tho they knew I had much more to spend and was an inexperienced sailor who could easily been overcharged for service. When I went topside after the repair was complete, ALL of my rigging had been properly secured and stowed, which is not how it was found.

Satisfied is a woefully inadequate term to describe my opinion.

Nice place but the markup on products is to be expected because they do have a brick and mortar shop. Case in point is the item pictured, costs $60 there but you can buy it online for about $30.

I've used these guys several times for tasks on my boat. They're always on time, on budget and very professional. Yes, it's expensive, but I've NEVER had to call them back to fix a mess they've made - that's worth $ and my time. I'll always call them for mast work.

Let’s just say they like to underbid and over-invoice. I got an Estimate for $2500 and the invoice was $4500. The Work they did was below average and they talked me into buying Very expensive Antal DV jammers which are horrible. Casey should have known better than to recommend these jammers especially for use with a jib halyard on a racing boat. They are horrible regardless (slippage), but especially so if you’re dropping headsails regularly. Oh, and my halyards were 12mm yet he installed 10mm jammers.
