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. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 -84 Halifax, N.S.
