Next Friday, the German national football team will kick off the European Championship at home with national coach Julian Nagelsmann. However, Premiumropes is now presenting rigging sets that allow you to rig the flags of your favourite teams onto the rigging, and not just for euphoric football fans among sailors

There are fan articles for sale in every segment of the European Football Championship in Germany: from jerseys to beer cans, biscuits and Playmobil figures to yoghurt pots. The Dutch cordage specialist Premiumropes thought it should be possible to make something for sailors as well and actually found a funny way to discreetly show support for their favourite team.

The rigging sets from Premiumropes consist of:

  • Bobbins with waxed polyester rigging twine in the national colours of the respective team
  • a set of sailmaker's needles

Depending on the number of colours, the prices of the sets vary between 14 and 20 euros. The instructions for the flag-shaped Taklings can be found in the video below. Whether it's the European Football Championship or not, the coloured Taklings are a fun idea that can also be used to add decorative colour accents away from the sporting event. However, if you order in good time, you could possibly have the work done in time for the first kick-off. On Friday, Germany will face Scotland in the opening match in Munich. In the group stage, the German national team led by national coach Julian Nagelsmann will face Hungary and Switzerland.
