Dave - In addition to the comments on rod rigging, and as a point of reference for you on costs, I had an old Stearns headstay/furler and replaced it this fall with a Harken. This required that I add a new forestay. For multiple reasons I went with rod vs wire. Total cost for just the forestay, which included toggles for new furler, was about $1300. If you make this purchase and are looking for budget numbers, re-heading everything for around $2k is good value with appropriate safety/reliability that others have mentioned.
Hope that helps.

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 Dawes Captain Newport, RI, USA +1(401)5854942 [email protected]
