Our 10 year old Beneteau 45f5 was on the hard in Grenada during Hurricane Ivan. The boat ended up on her side but with the rig intact. To put her upright they had to cut the rig off. In addition to fixing the boat we have a problem with the rig - it is no longer on the boat and many of the turnbuckles are frozen on. The rigger in Grenada suggests we rerig with dyform. We know nothing about this stuff, we liked our rod rigging, we are floundering! Are we crazy to spend time trying to inspect our existing rig ( got to get those turnbuckles off! )? Is dyform a good replacement for our rod? We do not race but do like performance sailing - we raced a 470 prior to going cruising. Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
