Pete, I had it done on my 35 4 years ago. They pulled the mast. They did a bunch of other stuff, such as wiring. Labor for reheading was $450, but the total job, including pulling the rig was a lot more! Atlantic Spars in Herrington Harbor did it - not close to you. Joel On Mon, Feb 1, 2016

Jeez... who knows. I'm not sure what the laws were in Canada at that time, but here in the States much of the environmental legislation that regulated that type of thing was passed around or after when my boat was built ('75). I know my Atomic 4 would be much happier running on leaded gas...

Re: Stus-List Advice needed on Rigging Maintenance

As Dennis said, failures generally happen at the head. As part of rebuilding my rig I had all of the rod re-headed. More importantly in my case was the fact that I changed the style of tang. The original style was very problematic and I replaced all of them with the newer design stemball tangs.
