Kelly, Most rod rigging failures occur at the head. Many on the list have had rods re-headed. There should be a Navtec shop near you. If not, I used Florida Rigging, http://www.rigginghydraulics.com/rigging.shtml.
Call the shop to discuss pricing,etc. You can remove rigging one by one to send off. Block the forestay and backstay with a halyard to the bow. My buddy and I routinely drop a forestay for a day or two when installing curlers. One would assume they would not re-head a bad rod. Coil the rod to no less than 200 x rod diameter and tie it to an "X" of 2 x 4's. Give to UPS to ship. Dennis C.
