IMHO, remove all of that ugly protective cover and take closeup pics of the bare metal. Remove all of the tape and clean off the sticky before you call the rigger. You'll see what you really have and save hours for the rigger, and get a better job.
Consider proper spreader boots, better for sails and more aerodynamic.

Yes blocks need to be replaced/modernized and you can do better on the line selection but that is minor stuff and just time. The spreaders, fittings and standing rigging would be my biggest concern. Didn't notice any issues on the welds, etc but hard to tell in person let alone by pictures. Have a good contact at a local loft? Seriously, Internet lists are great but you do want a professional rigger to look at it. 33 is big enough...

I posted some that might be helpful. There are also pics of my spreaders. My lowers seem to be in need of repair or replacement. I obviously need to clean off the protective tape and expose the ends / turnbuckles, etc. but there seems to be a fair amount of corrosion, even cracking. When the weather improves a bit I will head back down to get a better look. I would consider it a huge favor for someone with some experience in the review of rigging to take a look and comment. I hope these links work. It was a little more work than it should seem to be to get these on Google Drive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLRXhXbUE3eUo4X0U/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLaXQyTExEbEJybzg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLc3NHS0hIY2syXzA/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLUWhvUmVxZUJrTEk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLTGpsdXJrUm52LXM/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLLTgzOTY0TDhUOE0/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLT0tyMmFIQXl6eWc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLSnMtUlBIem9NWm8/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLZ21uY05EWVJraDQ/view?usp=sharing Skip 1974 C&C 33 ¾ tonner On the hard in walpole Mast in Portsmouth, RI bstrat...@falconnect.com <blockquote> _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album.
