Activ - Three Masted Square Topsail Schooner

Three masted square topsail schooner ‘Activ’ sailed into Lunenburg in the spring of 2019 to get refitted for their upcoming movie work for ‘The North Waters’, a dark story of a whaling ship in the 1800’s. After initial introductions with Captain/owner Jonas Bergsoe of Denmark, it was realized that ACTIV needed major rigging overhaul work and Ironbound Rigging was set up and available to take on a large scope of work. Over the next two months we successfully changed out almost all the standing rigging wire on the foremast including the lower shrouds, topmast backstays, jibboom guys, forestay and other smaller components. This was all completed with the masts ‘in place’ which required some creative solutions to install the new wires. We were very happy with how all the work turned out with proper traditional wire seizings, leather work, and serving.
