Shawn, I replaced my 30 yr old rigging last summer only because I plan on doing extended off shore cruising. Had I not been planning this I would not have done so, as the cost was that of a new car. I did have to replace 1 roller furler, goose neck, and did a couple of up grades. If your worried about the rigging have the swages NDT inspected. If no cracks I say keep using it. FWIW.

There is a fellow at the club where the boat is currently located who does rigging, and is going to give me a quote. As the boat is already being hauled and put on the hard for 2 weeks, and the club has a mast crane, it seems like a good opportunity to get it done, and also any work on the mast, check the keel bolt under the mast, etc. The boat has dual forestays with furlers, single backstay with hydraulic tensioner, and standard upper, fore & aft lower shrouds. Just interested in what a ballpark cost should be, and how this would compare to me ordering the wire are terminals and doing it myself.Also, the boat has 7 through hulls, all marelon which appear to be in good condition, but some are a bit stiff. I'm assuming this is due to growth inside and lack of exercise (current owner leaves them open it seems). What is the recommended maintenance for these during a haulout?Thanks!-- Shawn wrightshawngwri...@gmail.com
