Our recent internal reorganization has given us the chance to harness that expertise more effectively," said Paolo Moretti, General Manager, Business Line Marine, RINA Group.
RINA Launches Sailing Rig Guidelines
International classification society RINA has developed guidelines for yacht sailing rig analysis, manufacturing and maintenance. The scheme includes full certification of the rig and a verifiable planned maintenance scheme. Paolo Moretti, General Manager Marine, RINA Group, says, “This is a new approach to a challenging engineering problem. Until now, sailing yacht classification has focused on the hull and machinery. We think that this is illogical, as sailing yachts depend on their rig.
