My local rigging guy said any original rigging would fail without him even 
seeing it, so there is that ☹

Joe,
My 1984 C&C 32 has rod rigging....have it inspected every 5 years when an 
insurance survey is required.  My last inspection of the rod rigging was 
positive although the rigger who did the inspection, not the boat surveyor, 
recommended new turnbuckles although he maintained that was mainly out of 
caution while not really a necessity  because he noticed any problem(s).
I believe NavTech recommends replacing the turnbuckles every 10 years or 40,000 
miles, which ever comes first.

Question for the collective knowledge base here:

Would you sail a 1980s era boat with original rod rigging or is it going to 
fall on your head any second?
