Joe, Call Jay at Annapolis Rigging. He did mine as part of an insurance claim. I don’t recall the cost, but was happy with the service. They are located at Janine Boat Yard.

Reheaded? Rod replaced? It makes one think about buying a 70s-80s-90s era boat and having an immediate large expense.

Before going out and purchasing a dye penetrant kit I would polish the heads and the areas around them. Once polished look for visible cracks. Often they show as a corrosion line or will snag your fingernail. If you see one then you can do the dye penetrant test but at that point I’d consider replacing the rigging or re-heading the rod. You can also polish the area using very fine sandpaper (1500 grit) to see if the indication goes away. Here is a link to some things I’ve seen doing rigging inspections on boats with rod: https://photos.app.goo.gl/d7ycMmiwJSTB8CcH7<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=589b71c2-040d3962-589b58b5-0cc47adca788-c41cf27c161041c8&q=1&e=f7de998e-e40c-4f08-9bce-4b1a0b25802d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fphotos.app.goo.gl%2Fd7ycMmiwJSTB8CcH7> . We don’t do that many inspections on rod rigging but the number of problems actually found is generally less than what is seen on boats with wire. I am a professional rigger in the Norfolk VA area with Performance Rigging. I hope that this helps.

I’m taking down my mast…it’s has rod rigging and I’ve been meaning to have it inspected ever since I’ve purchased the boat. Can this be done by a layperson with a dye test or something similar? There’s no rigging company up here….I’d love to feel confident that there’s good life left with the existing.
