Newport 41 wire versus rod
Brion,
I have a 1973 N41 and am getting ready to replace the original rigging. What are the pros and cons of each. The boat has wire. Can I even switch to rod? And finally, I am planning to completely remove the mast and change all it's fittings before a long caribbean cruise - but I want to do the rigging now. is there any reason I shouldn't replace the rigging now, and then just put it back on after I do the mast refit?
Thanks for your help.
