Default standing rigging

"prodigal1" wrote in message

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!

The same issues apply. Typically, out here in SF, you need to replace the
rigging after 10 years one way or another. I would assume it's the same
elsewhere, although with fresh water, you might be able to go a bit longer.
I wouldn't risk it, however.
