Thanks Andy—they are the one that my local rigger would send my rigging to for evaluation.

I did the same with my Baltic 47 before I launched her for the first time.When you take it apart use a stainless wheel on a drill to polish up the heads. Look for signs of cracks. Not all my shrouds had to be reheaded. But my D3s, which bend around the second spreaders, had to be replaced because reheading the upper attachment point changed where the fitting would be at the spreaders. On both boats the rod was more than 20 years old; on the C&C more than 30. The people in RI are Rig Pro, and it could be argued that they are the best in the world.Andy Andrew Burton26 Beacon HillNewport, RI USA 02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/+401 965-5260 On Mar 12, 2021, at 09:48, Novabraid via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: #yiv9733817963 #yiv9733817963 -- _filtered {} _filtered {}#yiv9733817963 #yiv9733817963 p.yiv9733817963MsoNormal, #yiv9733817963 li.yiv9733817963MsoNormal, #yiv9733817963 div.yiv9733817963MsoNormal {margin:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;}#yiv9733817963 span.yiv9733817963EmailStyle19 {font-family:sans-serif;color:windowtext;}#yiv9733817963 .yiv9733817963MsoChpDefault {font-family:sans-serif;} _filtered {}#yiv9733817963 div.yiv9733817963WordSection1 {}#yiv9733817963 Charlie, I had to have Half Magic (83 Landfall 35) surveyed for insurance purposes with the mast down and a rig inspection. Rod rigging, single spreader. My surveyor is a former C&C Landfall 38 owner. He looked at the attachment points at the mast to make sure they weren’t seized or cracked, checked the fittings at the spreader and turnbuckles. Passed with flying colors. I also talked with a rigger friend who echoed your comments about reheading or replacement without even considering inspection so there’s clearly a difference of opinion with regards to protocols with rod rigging. Both Rob Ball and I have looked far and wide for evidence of boats being dismasted due to rod rigging failure and they are few and far between, usually involving a roll-over offshore. >From what I’ve read, the rule of thumb is replacement after 40,000 to 60,000 >miles.

Local riggers, among others, believe that rod rigging should be replaced (or re-headed?) at about 25 years of use. Since C&C finally bit the dust about 20 years ago, I suspect there are many listers whose rigging has or will soon reach this milestone. For background, I have never and don't have any plans to take Water Phantom seriously off-shore although I may cruise off-shore between marinas or up and down the ICW. She is used almost exclusively for local PHRF racing in the NC sounds/rivers with occasional trips to Charleston or the Chesapeake. I plan to have the rigging inspected in place this month--over the years one of the starboard shrouds seized and it was sent off for repair but otherwise no issues. My question is do I need to bite the bullet and re-head or replace all the rod rigging at this milestone? Or can I have it seriously inspected, perhaps by the group in RI (forget the name), and only re-head/replace what they deem questionable. Or given my use, maybe I should just "...forgetaboutit..." BTW, my rig is a triple spreader, all rod (except for the forestay) so I suspect the expense of replacement or re-heading is north of 5 boat bucks, not to mention the labor to take it apart and reassemble.
