Weekender standing rigging

[PC]

I'd like to purchase new standing rigging for my 1979 weekender this winter. Is there someplace where I can purchase this all at once (kind of like a kit??) without having to measure, figure out sizes, etc.? also, does it make sense to upgrade to more heavy duty rigging while I'm at it? Thanks in advance!

I have been replacing my standing rigging gradually on my 1976 Ty. I feel that the size of the rigging is fine - certainly stronger than the points of attacment to the chainplates. I also purchased a CDi roller furler from them (CDI1 or 2 will be adequate). As I replace the rigging I have been converting from the closed turnbuckles to open turnbuckles - it is much easier to tell where the adjustrments are and also easier to adjust. I used Rigging Only and have been extremely happy with their workmanship and customer service - and the price is right! What they want is for you to send them the rigging - including the turnbuckle adjusted to where you normally use it. They will then prepare a replacement with the new turnbuckles. You can call them or communicate via their web site. They are highly recommended!

I've used Rigging Only and agree with Dick, they have great service and a good price.

I had my rigging replaced by Dwyer Aluminum Mast. I broke a headstay one day. Nothing like a little excitement.
I just sent them the old rigging and a turnbuckle that I wanted to change to and they did the rest. It was a good job and easy to do. They returned the old rigging so that I can keep it as spares.
