Hi everyone,
Im just about to have my standing rigging replaced (all wire, turnbuckles suaging, bridal for the backstay). We are dropping the mast so I can do some work on it. The rigger will help and has organised a vehicle crane. We are on a 31ft masthead sloop. The quote we received is 9.1k. Can anyone lead me in the right direction about the value of this quote? I understand that hardware is more expernsive with inflation and supply issues. What do you all think? The quote for the hardware itself was 6.6k.
Cheers
Pat

S&S34, last done in 2016 complete standing rigging, strip mast and paint in clear. $6,500 in Sydney at Joe Walsh.

Thanks everyone. I thought it was a bit expensive. I've managed to get it down to 8k. I think its still a bit expensive, but we only have 1 option where we are. I understand inflation is crazy atm and that will exacerbate crane costs too. We just dont have another option here unfortunately.

@jbarnes85 no we arent pulling any chainplates, he reckons they are fine.

I apppreciate all your advice. Cheers!

Kinora (Currawong 30) was done by Elite Yachting Services, Mona Vale in December 2020. About $6,600 for the standing rigging and another $1,400 to do the chain plates for the shrouds and backstay.

Cheers,
Kinora
