Testimonials
Rick — Thanks for the professional attention that you gave to Satori (Shannon 51 Ketch) after her transatlantic passage, a season in the Caribbean, and a bout with hurricane Ivan. Her rigging and sails have never felt better!
Rick is always a great source of advice. He has done rigging on my Pearson Flyer and acted as broker my broker for the purchase if a Morgan 43. It is obvious that he has the experience to back up his opinions.
My wife, Innes and I have always found Rick Zern’s work to be of the highest quality performed in a timely and always courteous manner.
Rick has handled the rigging on our Evelyn 42 and our Pyramid 45. He has always done what he said he was going to do on time and under budget. The reasons I like dealing with Rick is he will take his time and teach you about the job that he is doing on your boat. He is always willing to share his knowledge in order to make you a better informed sailor and sailboat owner.
It is reassuring that the marine industry has someone available with your integrity and work ethic, and knowledge and capability that delivers a quality service on schedule. …enough said
Rick Zern’s boat work is the best there is. Whether the boat is large or small, racer or cruiser, Rick’s work does not fail. He gets it done on time and in budget. You can trust his advice. I have for over 30 years.
“As a Marine Surveyor, I’ve sailed on several vessels that have been fitted out by Zern Rigging, and feel a degree of confidence in the quality of their work. I’d go offshore in a Zern-rigged vessel; that’s as good a testament of their work as I can give.”
Thanks for all your hard work. You are very professional and prompt, and you do and outstanding job.
As life long sailors and long time Pensacola residents, we have had the pleasure of sailing with RZ, utilizing his talents as a sailmaker and also having him do rigging work on our boats. Rick is an asset to the sailing community and with his extensive sailing back-ground, all of his boat work is first class. I would highly recommend anyone with any sail or rigging questions on boats of any size to contact Rick Zern for his professional help.
Rick Zern is the best all around boat person I have ever dealt with. He is expert rigger, sail maker, boat-sailing consultant, broker, etc. His knowledge and skill in all of these topics is outstanding. Most important, his honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. I would be happy to provide personal reference to any interested party.
I first met Rick in 1985. I needed work done on my Ocean Voyager and Rick came highly recommended. He’s been my man of choice for any of my boats needs ever since. If he can’t do it, he knows someone who can. He’s honest, dependable and does good work. I’m looking forward to many more years of reliable service.
“Zern Rigging is the real deal. They keep our boat sailing at top efficiency and speed. I can’t think of anyone who knows more about boats than Rick Zern”.
