#51: Replace the Rod Rigging or Switch to Wire?
Replacement of our original rod rigging our 1985 Niagara 35 to new 5/16 stainless steel wire at https://havewindwilltravel.com. Lots of decisions to make in this video dealing with the rigging. Going from rod to wire is going to take a lot of modifications on the upper fittings and the forestay … don’t even get me started. And, taping? More taping? YES! We prepped the boat up once again for the fiberglass repair as Video Annie gets ready to clock in at the yard.
