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.
