My 30-2 is now 25 years old [wish I was, too!!], and has rod rigging, except for the split backstay and probably the forestay [has a Harken furler on it]. The 30-2 is a double spreader rig. About 2 years ago, I paid for a rigging inspection [mast stayed UP]. All was reported as OK. I have not raced the boat, nor have I sailed her "hard" over the past 12 seasons [i.e., reef early, keep her "on her feet" in higher winds]. However, I have no idea how the POs used the boat, but I suspect some racing was done. That said, I am thinking the prudent move is to have the rod rigging terminals "re-headed", both top and bottom terminals [I hope my use of terminology is accurate, and if not, at least understood]. I would appreciate any and all feedback from this group on what maintenance I should consider. --Does this make sense to have this done when I've had no issues? --Can it be done without removing the mast? -- If I do it, should I replace the forestay? --What should I expect to pay roughly? --Can you recommend a rigger [I'm on lower Chesapeake Bay, in Deltaville, Va.]? Thanks, Pete W. Siren Song 1991 30-2 Deltaville, Va.
