The last time I recall one of us lost their mast was years ago and was caused
by a chain plate bulkhead failure. We are not having rigging failures.

I have owned a 1981 C&C for 7 years. I crewed on the boat for 8 years prior to
ownership. I am quite certain it has original rod rigging. I look everything
over at deck level each spring and everything looks in very good condition. No
worries whatsoever.
But, as far as I know, the boat has neve
A comment or two regarding fatigue --
Most ferrous metals exhibit what is known as an endurance limit. This is a
stress level below which the material is expected to survive infinite cycles. I
have no detailed knowledge of the high strength stainless rod material fatigue
properties, however I s
On both my C&C 40 and my current boat I took my rigging to a professional and
had it inspected. He re-headed some pieces and on Masquerade, my current boat,
replaced the turnbuckles. But the rod is still good.

My 1982 34 still has original rod rigging. I store mast down and inspect every
year. Had rigger inspect 3 years ago. No problems including 20 years ago when
hit by surprise squall that lasted several hours with winds 50kts+. The boat
survived just fine – the crew was another story. 😊

I’m replacing the rod, turn buckles and furler on Sapphire 37+ this season,
only because of piece of mind.
The boat is a 1990 with 34 year old rigging always made me think, when I’m

I had a failure on D2 jump stay on my 38 mkII, but the boat was 38 years old
at the time and I was told that Navtech had had a recall on the toggle that
failed some time in the late 80's or early 90s (and the toggle on my boat had
not been replaced). The failure was in the connecter from the st
I believe I am sailing with original rod rigging (1975). I have been told by
some that it needs to be replaced, and I have been told by others – including
mechanical engineers – it probably does not. As I understand it, the issue is
fatigue based on a number of “cycles” (pressure applied then
Following for others comments as well, but our 1980 Landfall has original
rod rigging in great condition. We sail her with out fear.

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?
