I had mine inspected in 2010 or so. Other than some re-headed work everything checked out. The mast and rigging were down for 10 years (long story) but all went back up and are solid since 2018.

To do a thought inspection of rod rigging it needs to be completely disassembles and the cold head looked at closely and possible NDT’d to ensure there are no cracks. At almost 20 years old you most likely need to replace it. Rather than sending the rigging to BSI, or other places, we measure it and have new rigging made to our dimensions. It saves you a little money.

Osprey Composites at Herrington Harbor / Tracy’s Landing was recommended. Anybody have any information / opinion on them? The boat has 19 year old rod rigging and do not have firm information on the last time a rigging inspection was made – probably not in the past 11 - 12 years when the current owner purchased the boat. Can anyone recommend a good rigger who could do an inspection in the West River to Herrington Harbor vicinity? The ability to inspect, and possibly fabricate new rod rigging is needed. “The Rigging Company” is one name that keeps coming up. Another is M Yacht Services rigging. Both seem to be on the higher end of the pricing spectrum. Eastcoast Marine Rigging was another name, but am not certain if they have the capability / experience to fab new rod rigging. Am not looking to change to wire. Any opinions / suggestions on these two ? Many thanks, Brian
