standing rigging

In another overly long thread about the merits of the C&C33, someone
mentioned rigging as a potential issue in an older boat. Would anyone
care to share experience with assessing the condition of rigging on a
freshwater-only sailboat? Look-fors? Tips? Sources of information?
Cheers and Happy 2006!

Some insurers (most) will not insure a boat where the standing rigging is
more than 8 years old, even if the boat had never been used since new. This
is the position in the UK, US may be different. Makes no difference whether
the rigging is wire or solid rod.
