This is going to be a nuts and bolts post, which I plan to do more of…not 100% sure how to organize these yet… I’m re-rigging Elizabeth. Here are the specs I’m working with:

I’m looking at a few options. I like the idea of spliced rigging. I’d like to splice each wire myself, and ideally I’d like to do it with 1×19. I’m also getting quotes on swaged uppers and mechanical lowers. Quotes are as follows and will be updated as received.

Rigging-Only (Fairhaven, MA):
316 wire, Swaged uppers, Mechanical lowers (self-installed): $2332
316 wire, Mechanicals Top and Bottom (Self Installed): $2797

Myles Thurlow (traditional rigger on Martha’s Vineyard):
316 Wire: $800
Thimbles: $250 (SS) $700 (bronze)
32 splices: $1280
$2280 Total
