[Public-list] Replacing Rigging

[Jim Davis]

Do it yourself.  Measure the length you need and get Fawcett's involved.  They have their Washington's Birthday sale coming up (2/16-25).  Measure each wire, add a foot for safety and have them swage the upper end.  Use Norseman for the lower end and make up the lower end to fit.  Wire cuts easily with a Dremel and you can lay the old wire out on the pier to cut the lengths.  

Another way would be to take all your olds wires and turnbuckles to them and have complete sets made up.  Also replace the turnbuckles, if you haven't already.  Either way is more Bang for the Buck than the rigging shops here.

"Ah consensus . the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead.  What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner 'I stand for consensus'?"
