Depending on your DIY skills and the local rigger fees, etc. you might consider the following which I recentlyhad done on my 27 yr old rod rigging on my C&C 36 XL/kcb. A local rigger removed and shipped my original rod rigging to BSI or Rigging Only (?) for them to duplicate exactly. He then installed the new rigging, tuned it and it was done— no issues at all with adjustments beyond normal tuning. The local rigger figured that the shipping costs for the old rigging was worth it compared to a possible measurement error (on his dime) that could lead to a big mistake.

Osprey Composites at Herrington Harbor / Tracy’s Landing was recommended. Anybody have any information / opinion on them? The boat has 19 year old rod rigging and do not have firm information on the last time a rigging inspection was made – probably not in the past 11 - 12 years when the current owner purchased the boat. Can anyone recommend a good rigger who could do an inspection in the West River to Herrington Harbor vicinity? The ability to inspect, and possibly fabricate new rod rigging is needed. “The Rigging Company” is one name that keeps coming up. Another is M Yacht Services rigging. Both seem to be on the higher end of the pricing spectrum. Eastcoast Marine Rigging was another name, but am not certain if they have the capability / experience to fab new rod rigging. Am not looking to change to wire. Any opinions / suggestions on these two ? Many thanks, Brian
