#35: Time to Replace the Old (B)rods
The only really bad thing about rod rigging is that she doesn't show her age, but we knew, at 30+ years, our original rods were getting up there. If we wanted to sail south next season, a re-rig was in high order. Let the debate begin ... rod versus wire...

It's sad to see our mast lying lonely on her side at the shipyard. She loves to be standing tall, with lots of folks "hanging around." But I sleep soundly knowing she's got sunny, silky dreams to keep her warm. More sailboat silking at https://havewindw...
