Hi Patrick,
My standing rigging was replaced about 5 years ago with all wire. This was done before my time, but I did replace one of the fittings which as I recall is a Navtec Series 500 fitting. I believe the new rigging, including Kenyon spar and boom, was done by Rig-Rite. - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Nov 19, 2016, at 8:20 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > I'm seriously thinking about a wire conversion again, but that has it's own > complications.
