Finally got a quote from Blackline. Initial estimate was $5K, full quote was $10K. I'm not sure what Plan B is at this point, that's double what I have heard from others who have done the switch from rod to wire. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 7 October 2017 at 18:11,

Edson elkhide spreader boots are available at West Marine for about $70 per pair, which is about twice the price of the Taylor Made nylon boots. The boots on my lower spreaders (where there is contact with the headsail) are elk hide. The boots on the uppers (which are above the leach of the

I would regard that as a bargain. I think the guys at Blackline are pretty good, but expensive. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 7 October 2017 at 18:11, Andrew Burton via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I just did the rigging on Peregrine. The riggers were able

I just did the rigging on Peregrine. The riggers were able to re-head all but the V2/D3, which had to be replaced because of aligning the top spreaders with the bend in the rod. The cost was about $5k for literally the best guys in the world to do it all. Andy C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61

I'm having a rigger come out next week to have a look at our standing rigging and mast, it's all original so I'm sure we'll end up with yet another horrific bill. I'm seriously considering going to wire instead of rod, but I'll get quotes on both Andrew, you're right, I want to pull the mast so I

Especially if you intend to pull the rig, Jim, sewing elkhide boots on is remarkably easy. I did that last year with mine and even though I though I made a hash of the job, you wouldn't know it from the deck! Mind you, I did start with the top set of spreaders first. It's a quick enough job

Does anyone know offhand the sizes of the spreader tips on the early rig (pre-1985)? I want to put on some spreader boots and having them ready to go would make it much easier than having to go up and measure first. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC
