I am having my rod-rigging replaced currently in NC with the rod provided and
cut by Rigging Only or something similar in NE.
Total job is estimated at ~$8700 for everything, including shipping the old rod
to NE and new rod back, installation, tuning, etc. After 26 years of mostly NC
sound sailing, I thought it was time to bite the bullet and get it done.
While I don't anticipate any off-shore sailing, racing or cruising I prefer to
avoid any 'gravity storm' no matter how unlikely for how and where I use the
boat.
In my case, replacing the rod with wire would have been more expensive than
going with rod again because of the complications in the fittings changes since
she was built in 1994-5.
YMMV,

div.yiv2053289356WordSection1 {}#yiv2053289356 Andrew Rod rigging is much
more expensive than wire. On a C&C115 a number of years ago the turnbuckles
were replaced on the shrouds on both sides using the existing rod. The cost
was over 3K Someone once told me that the cost of a single rod was about the
same as the cost of all the wire standing rigging on a boat. Then someone else
told me that it was the cost of all the fittings on each end of the shrouds and
stays that were the big cost. Bottom line is lets not lose our rig! MIke

What does $18k buy you? Surely more than a mast step and new shrouds? Our
surveyor advised that our standing rigging was near the end of its service
life. $18k is more than I have to spend. Andrew MacLean C&C 30mk1 Gulf

<paradigmat...@gmail.com> Subject: Stus-List Mast in and out As part of a
quote for potentially painting the topsides, we were given a cost for the local
rigger to take the mast out and put it back in. I thought $1500 was a little
steep, but I haven't done this since we had our 29-2, so maybe prices have gone
up by 10X in the interim. I'm curious as to what kind of costs folks are
incurring on their mast work just to see if this is reasonable. I also recently
got a quote for $4500 which then ballooned to $9000 and counting to replace our
rod rigging with wire. Does this sound at all in the ballpark?
