The rigging is 23 yrs old and shows a little rust at the bottom terminals. I think it is time to change it. I want to take the boat back to the US, but I am nervous about doing it on the original rigging.
I would agree that it would be nice to remove the mast and send the rigging back to the states to get it more accurately replaced. That would cost me about $2k or more here, which makes me want to try to do it in place. Reusing tangs or turnbuckles will not save me much, either. It seems to me that removing and putting in new K200 tangs is a pretty easy job, but I just wanted to be sure.
One followup question: Navtec sells a C550 rod turnbuckle and the N690 rod turnbuckle for half the price. Is there any reason to go with the C550 for ~$600 more on the job?
