RigSense

RigSense is a mobile + web app that helps sailors track standing and running rigging health with a simple, evidence-based maintenance log. You record each shroud/stay/halyard with install date, usage (hours/miles), environment (salt/fresh, UV exposure), and any incidents (knockdowns, hard groundings). The app then generates inspection checklists and replacement windows based on conservative heuristics and manufacturer guidance, and it lets you attach photos over time to spot progressive wear (broken wire strands, cracks at swages, chafe points). It also stores torque/tension notes from your last tune and reminds you before offshore passages or race series. This is not magic: it won’t “guarantee safety,” but it will dramatically reduce forgotten maintenance and give owners a clear, auditable rig history—useful for insurance, surveys, and resale.
