I think you will find it is a fair amount more $$, for little gain. Probably
have to change a lot of your attachments as well.
I replaced my backstay (split) with Dyneema, only because that's what it was
originally. After spending 4 grand on that, I wonder

Has anyone looked into replacing their standing rigging with Dyneema? I am in
the process of replacing my lifelines with dyneema and have heard of boat
owners that have replaced their standing rigging with it. Just curious.

I would like to chime in on this.

FWIW, in 2022 I used Rigging Only in Fairhaven Mass to make all new rigging
for my 49. The total cost, with shipping, was around $15,000.

Sad but true—my local rigger never looked either and no survey was involved.
Mostly folklore IMHO (the necessity of replacing the rigging after 20-30
years)but liability for their work(company, individual, etc.) is likely a large
part of reasons for replacing it.
I am sure I stressed mine a few
I so need to move – that would probably cost $25,000 around here!
Also I found out the rigging shops I called for a survey on that C 40 I
looked at would all fail the rigging without even seeing it due to age even if
it looked brand new. They were pretty sure they couldn’t do a proper look
