I had my rigging inspected last year, and the rod was fine. What was not was the wire headstay. I had that replaced.

Probably have to change a lot of your attachments as well. I replaced my backstay (split) with Dyneema, only because that's what it was originally. After spending 4 grand on that, I wonder why I did it for the little weight savings, when I could have replaced it with rod myself for next to nothing.

I am in the process of replacing my lifelines with dyneema and have heard of boat owners that have replaced their standing rigging with it. Just curious. Karl Erickson 1978 C&C 34 SeaBatical
