I certainly wish I'd converted to wire when I redid the rig. I wanted
to, as I was just going to cruise the boat. I let the rigger (and he
was the best in town) talk me out of it.
A few years later I reminded him of that. He said that when we started
he thought we could reuse a lot of the fittings, although in the end we
replaced everything from the chainplate bolts to the studs that cross
the mast.
I ask around here in Mexico, and there isn't a single rigger yet who
could rehead or work with rod.
