[C320-list] Rig Tune

[jackbrennan]

I used SSMR Rigging in St. Pete. Reusing the same chainplates and turnbuckles, it cost me about 2.4k. They did a good job and make the Rigging on site.
The drawback for you would be that they only do work at their dock so they can use a crane.
I got a quote from another rigger who was close to 4k. He ordered his rigging.
One possibility on the hard is to take down the mast, remove the Rigging and send it to Sailing Services in Miami. They will duplicate your rigging, and you/a contractor can install it.

Tuning is a give and take process— in that once a shroud or two are adjusted, others must be rechecked to keep everything on spec.  Sore fingers and hands result. An assistant was a big help. 

Now that our 320 has been raced in FL for 14 years and the boat is 24 years old, I plan to replace the standing rigging this year. One Ft  Myers rigger gave me a rough estimate of $4k
to replace while boat is on the hard with the rig up. 
What cost experience do others have?
