The next big ticket item on my refurbishment is the standing rigging. My E-33 has rod standing rigging (except for backstay which is cable). Worse case scenario it all needs to be replaced. The fittings are Navtec (now out of business) but I know of at least one company (Hayne Marine) who is manufacturing Navtec fittings. It should be possible to re-rig the boat with rod if original spec fittings are available.
Another possibility is to go with cable but that will require modifications to the mast accept new fittings (which I prefer not to do). Either way, I am having a pro rigger inspect and ultimately do the work, but I may participate in some of the (unskilled labor).
Does anyone have any recent experience replacing rod rigging on their Ericson ?
