Don't neglect your standing & running rigging! Proper inspection and maintenance is as important for your rig as it is for your inboard or outboard engine.

Replace worn halyards before they fail. Tiny cracks in wire terminals (marine forks and turnbuckle studs) are subtle warnings that rigging should be replaced.

If your rigging is more then 10 or 15 years old or you have started to find cracked swages, it's time to start replacing your stays and shrouds. Many customers choose to replace wire rigging in stages to make it more affordable. That is, replace the backstay and headstay one year, the upper shrouds the next year and so on.
