Ahoy mates ,
This is my first sailing vessel that I resonantly purchased and I am not trying to rationalize keeping my standing rigging as it seems to work just fine for me underway , but If I am understanding what my local rigging guy is telling me is that my rig is unique in such with it having discontinuous rigging and the gentleman is suggesting that I would have to go on the hard and a have crane pull my rig to properly replace all the standing rigging . He also suggested that nylon would not be an option and I would have to stay on course with cables and turnbuckles.This vessel has very low hours on it although I would suggest that it is the original standing rigging and looks very good to me . This gentlemen wants 500 to go aloft and inspect the rig/spreaders/turnbuckles/cables. Does anyone have any light to shed on this subject matter . Thanks and Cheers ,Ben
