hi David, welcome to the list. most correspondence happens on the email serve. So, you got that much right! As far as I know, and i don't have rod rigging and have only seen it, I think the main are of concern are the fittings to the rods. I believe worst case scenario is the have the fittings inspected and maybe removed and either reconnected or replaced. I think that the rod is usually serviceable. on the other hand, I replaced all the cable rigging on my Viking 33 (except the head stay) for about $1000. That included fittings and wire. I think I got quotes up to $1300. I'm sure others with more knowledge of the rod rig will chime in pretty soon. You should definitely pay the price for a qualified surveyor to go through the boat.

Sorry, I can�t figure it out. So I started a new one. Next I looked at a 1984 CNC 35 M3 yesterday. Concerned about the rod rigging. This boat is run down so I don�t expect a record of rigging inspection or service. A rigger friend recommended full replacement. Is this correct? And what are alternatives? What is a rod replacement cost approx? And is a wire replacement smart/ advisable/ cost effective or too heavy? Technology has moved ahead in 30 years. I love the boat layout etc. But suspect rigging will kill my offshore pleasure! Many thanks, David. David DawesCaptainNewport, RI, USA+1(401)5854942dawes...@hotmail.com
