FWIW, our 1976 38-ii was partially rerigged in 2013. The previous owner swapped all of the shrouds for Dyneema and new turnbuckles. The forestay was replaced with wire before the PO bought it. Probably around the time the harken furler was installed (my guess is 2003-2006). The backstay is still rod and I believe it is original. The hydraulic tensioner just failed last season and I replaced it with a Dyneema cascade using some of Colligo's Dyneema fittings but the amount of force need to tension it was insane. This year I'm just putting in a large turnbuckle and a stay extender. We don't race so it might as well be static.
The Dyneema shrouds are still in excellent shape. They need tuning every season but it isn't hard to do. Our stays are the heat-set Dyneema which is pricey but I've always imagined one could build their entire rig from oversized standard Dyneema and just pay more attention to tensioning it as it stretches (strength is not the issue, elongation is the problem). Defender always has cheap offcuts of 12-15mm Dyneema in lengths up to 60' for dirt cheap (~$35). You have to go into the store to find these, however, as they don't sell them online.
