Andrew Rod rigging is much more expensive than wire. On a C&C115 a number of years ago the turnbuckles were replaced on the shrouds on both sides using the existing rod. The cost was over 3K
Someone once told me that the cost of a single rod was about the same as the cost of all the wire standing rigging on a boat. Then someone else told me that it was the cost of all the fittings on each end of the shrouds and stays that were the big cost. Bottom line is lets not lose our rig!

What does $18k buy you? Surely more than a mast step and new shrouds? Our surveyor advised that our standing rigging was near the end of its service life. $18k is more than I have to spend.

Ended up with an $18k bill. $3k just for the crane to pull and restep the mast.

I thought $1500 was a little steep, but I haven't done this since we had our 29-2, so maybe prices have gone up by 10X in the interim. I'm curious as to what kind of costs folks are incurring on their mast work just to see if this is reasonable. I also recently got a quote for $4500 which then ballooned to $9000 and counting to replace our rod rigging with wire. Does this sound at all in the ballpark?
