The boat is now 17 years old and that is how long the rigging has been on it. Usually 15-20 years is given for the lifetime of the stay. For us a reason to change to new rigging now so that this will not have to be replaced in the next 10 years during our planned voyage.

To properly replace the rigging, the mast has to come off. We will have Marco Bijl from Brouwershaven do this while the boat is on the shore anyway for coppercoat. Marco is taking all the rigging with him so that they can be newly customized.
