They did hose you, the whole point is the fittings get reused!

Well, it was more than 50' to be sure, probably not a fair comparison,
Maybe if I had given them the old pieces they could have re-used the old
eyes, but they didn't ask for them, and I wanted to keep the old pieces.
The Dyneema is covered in a black tube all the way around the eyes to keep
the sun
I looked into it this winter but opted for rod rigging (with forestay and
backstay switched to wire) because of a few reasons.
1) Resale value. Less people are familiar with synthetic rigging so it will
probably discourage buyers.
2) shorter life span
But there were some appealing characteristics
The best Dynemma rigging is found here:

It is not the standard SK75 or 099 stuff. It is heat set to
eliminate creep.

I had my rigging inspected last year, and the rod was fine. What was not was
the wire headstay. I had that replaced.

The deal with Dyneema is supposedly it is only expensive ONCE, the fittings can
be reused and the actual Dyneema replaced cheaply.
It should not have cost much at all to just replace the line, was it really
$4,000 for 50 feet of it

I think you will find it is a fair amount more $$, for little gain.
Probably have to change a lot of your attachments as well.
I replaced my backstay (split) with Dyneema, only because that's what it
was originally. After spending 4 grand on that, I wonder why I did it for
the little weight savings
Thanks to all for responding to my question. Lots of great input that’s very helpful and greatly appreciated From: cenelson--- via CnC-List Date: Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 9:02 AMTo: Stus-List Cc: sai...@comcast.net , cenel...@aol.com Subject: Stus-List Re: Standing RiggingI replaced it on my 1995
Has anyone looked into replacing their standing rigging with Dyneema? I am in
the process of replacing my lifelines with dyneema and have heard of boat
owners that have replaced their standing rigging with it. Just curious.

I would like to chime in on this.
My 1985 Landfall 39 with the original rigging survived hurricane Dorian in
2019 here in the Bahamaswhile on a mooring.

FWIW, in 2022 I used Rigging Only in Fairhaven Mass to make all new rigging
for my 49. The total cost, with shipping, was around $15,000.

Joe,
It is a bit of a challenge to find a rigger who will do it but you should
be able to find someone who will inspect and re-head the original rod
rigging (North east rigging systems in MA did mine 4 years ago
https://www.nerigging.com/). The rods will generally form cracks and fail
at the ends
Sad but true—my local rigger never looked either and no survey was involved.
Mostly folklore IMHO (the necessity of replacing the rigging after 20-30
years)but liability for their work(company, individual, etc.) is likely a large
part of reasons for replacing it.
I am sure I stressed mine a few t
I so need to move – that would probably cost $25,000 around here!
Also I found out the rigging shops I called for a survey on that C&C 40 I
looked at would all fail the rigging without even seeing it due to age even if
it looked brand new. They were pretty sure they couldn’t do a proper look
