Same here (NSC in Ottawa). If you do it yourself, it cost you nothing; you just
need a few friends to help. If you hire a local “service provider”, they will
do it for about $100. I use them for the haul-out and unstepping in the fall,

Where I store my C 34 boat for the winter in Chester, Nova Scotia, they
charge me $150 for going mast in or out. They also do a fine job of attaching
all the rig, stays, shrouds and fuller as well as roughly tune it when putting
it in… not bad for $150 I figure!
You do have to store with them

Is it around 250$-300$ to unstep the mast

A friend got quoted about that for unstepping, storing for the winter and
restepping in the spring in Hamilton. He has a 36’ Elite with a deck stepped
mast. He had to strip the mast once unstepped, and prep it in the spring.

I should clarify my previous note. We were prepared and ready to go, with
extra hands, when the crane truck arrived. There’s a lot of monkeying around
to do beforehand. If you’re paying for all the prep work, it’s obviously going
to cost a lot more.

A fellow C owner and I unstepped our masts two days ago. Our masts are too
big for the yard’s manual lift, so we arranged for a crane truck to do the
heavy lifting. We were both ready when the truck arrived, and we finished in
less an hour. The minimum for the truck is two hours, which cost
I am having my rod-rigging replaced currently in NC with the rod provided and
cut by Rigging Only or something similar in NE.
Total job is estimated at ~$8700 for everything, including shipping the old rod
to NE and new rod back, installation, tuning, etc. After 26 years of mostly NC

Rod rigging is much more expensive than wire. On a C a number of years
ago the turnbuckles were replaced on the shrouds on both sides using the
existing rod. The cost was over 3K
Someone once told me that the cost of a single rod was about the same as the
cost of all the wire
Doug,
That sounds like a lot! What does $18k buy you? Surely more than a mast step
and new shrouds? Our surveyor advised that our standing rigging was near the
end of its service life. $18k is more than I have to spend.

Jim,I went to port Townsend rigging, was quoted $13k for all new standing
rigging. Ended up with an $18k bill. $3k just for the crane to pull and restep
the mast. Doug Mountjoy sv Rebecca Leah C & C Landfall 39Port Orchard Yacht

I had my rods reheaded and a new forestay and harken furler installed on my
35-3 this summer. The cost was 8800. Mast down and back up was a little
over 1000 total. I am just outside of Boston, where prices are generally on
the high end

If we pay someone it is under $500 each way for boat such as the 35. I
suspect that you may need to hire a boom truck, etc as part of your mast down
and put it back up
Mike Hoyt
As part of a quote for potentially painting the topsides, we were given a
cost for the local rigger to take the mast out and put it back in. I
thought $1500 was a little steep, but I haven't done this since we had our
29-2, so maybe prices have gone up by 10X in the interim. I'm curious as to
what

My daughter asked me last weekend if I ever thought of getting a bigger
boat, and after a moment I said no. Open water is fifty miles from me,
so I'm a river sailor. My 24 is perfect for that. There's no engine
issues to deal with. There's very little wood to maintain. Everything
about the boat
The "perfect boat" does not exist. It could always be a little
bigger/smaller, roomier, have more storage and tankage, be faster and more
stable.
My Pearson 28 was a great starter boat/overnighter. My C 35/3 was an
awesome boat, but small for offshore.
My Hylas 44 is a great offshore boat with
Interesting choice and glad to hear I’m not the only one. I had a 25 Mk I then
a 33 MkII C/B and after a number of weeks spent each summer in the North
Channel of Lake Huron and a few passages in less than ideal conditions I
started looking for a 37+ which I thought would be the ideal boat but
The perfect boat is 100 feet long underway and shrinks to 20 feet whenever you
are paying for a slip or cleaning the bottom!
