riggers

Hi all, We bought a new to us 1971 E29 in Long Beach back in September that we have at leeward bay marina, while we have been doing some work on the boat in the marina here, mostly cosmetic, electrical, and interior work. We now have the boat in good shape and need to prepare her for sailing...

Once upon a time, I read somewhere that when swaging rigging it was a practice to put lanolin in the swage to help combat water/salt intrusion. When recently checking out rigging shops, Shop A claims to put polysulfide in the swage then measure the finished swage to verify it meets mil-specs...

I need to upgrade my rigging, it is the original on my 1978 e 27, any suggestions.
