What I got was they didn’t think they could get the rigging apart to check it without damaging the fittings that may not even be available anymore.

He has an excellent reputation here as a rigger....I would like to believe he understands the rigging business.

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.
