A sistership of my 42 Custom had a rigging failure. I can ask the owner what caused it if people have an interest.

Has anyone ever heard of a rig failure of rod rigging? My boatyard hasn’t and they were C&C dealers a long time ago.

We had to replace the D3/V2 because when it was reheaded the fitting where it went around the spreader would have been in a different place. I think we replaced some turnbuckles, too. Just did something similar with my 1995 Baltic two years ago. I am pretty sure you will not have to replace all the rod. The area to really look at is the spreader tips and the fittings there.

Does anyone have an idea on the longevity of rod and the cost to replace it all? It doesn’t have to be rod again, does it? Dynaform wire or Dyneema maybe?
