I am planning on replacing my upper shrouds. I have never done this. Are there any common mistakes that do-it-yourselfers often make when taking on this job?

just replaced mine

Pat - I just replaced my standing rigging. I sent my old rigging to a company in MA, "Rigging Only" and they made the new rigging to match the old - great prices and service. Prices seem to vary, ask around in your area and see who does good work and get several quotes. If your turnbuckle bodies are still good you could re-use those. I replaced mine due to their age. I purchased new tangs from Catalina. I had my mast unstepped because I am doing a lot of work on it, but I know the uppers can be replaced one-by-one withour removing the mast. Be sure to seize the new uppers to the spreaders.
