Hi,

two questions about replacement of
the standing rigging on a 27 footer:

- When the current rigging is over
20 years old, but looks ok, is it
necessary to replace it? (It wasn't
used much.)

- How much would it approximately
cost to do this? Ballpark number?

Thanks a lot,

Chris


I don't remember the numbers for replacing the standing rigging on the
26' folkboat. $1500?

20 years old is pretty old. I believe it should be replaced if more
than 10 years old. Use isn't the only issue. The elements degrade the
rigging. Look at it this way...is it worth it if the boat is destroyed
or people injured if the rigging fails?
