I have a Beneteau Oceanis 300 that needs the standing rigging replaced. I was wondering if there's a data sheet somewhere that gives me (with confidence) the sizes and lengths of eacj replacement wire for my boat. Most web sites I've visited suggest removing all rigging myself, taking the bag of wires to a rigging specialist and then having replacements made up from the old templates but it would be so much easier if I could simply get the dimensions. Maybe I'm being naive and there's enough variation in these boats to make it impossible to provide a single set of figures. Any help much appreciated.

Suggestion:
Contact Beneteau, Beneteau USA may be able to provide specifications even if the boat was French built. When I bought my 323 as a new boat, I received a looseleaf binder that had all of the rigging specifications included.
I recognize the fact that your boat may be somewhat older, but some of the data might still be available. If there was a complete manual for your boat, and you could obtain one, It would really be handy to have.

Just do it two at a time; take the aft lowers off, take them to a rigger, have them duplicated, and reinstall them, then do the forward lowers, the main uppers, etc. Spread it out over a few months.
