I ordered a new forestay for my 33-2 this season at Klacko Spars in Oakville Ontario. The old one had a kink at the top, probably from a haylard wrap, not enough length to rehead so i decided to replace the whole thing.
The cost of the new forestay (# 8 rod) including the nose piece/fitting for the Harken furler is: 1 195 cnd$. + taxes and shipping I think it is a pretty good price to replace the forestay. i will spend more time inspecting the rods but it seemed fine. I am currently rebuildong the mast step so the timing was right for a rig refit while the mast is down. I am replacing many rig/deck hardware parts, have order new sheaves and pins from Zephyrwerks, hanving the spreader repainted, wires and VHF antenna replaced, some running rigging upgrades, etc... It adds up $$$ May is an expensive month every year, but especially this year.

Total cost was $18k. Mast was pulled, inspected, rewired, new rods, new furler on for stay, new staysail stay, new goose neck. I added a second main halyard block. Back stay had insolators for SSB antenna, and mast and boom were repainted. Port Townsend Rigging did most of the work, not the cheapest place around on Puget Sound.

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.
