Default When is the time to replace?

HI all,

I own a 22 year old 1984 Hunter that has spend most of its life on the Chesapeak Bay. The standing rigging was replace in 1996 (except for the turnbuckel bodies). I've looked at the turnbuckels that are at deck level and they look OK. I will be going up the mast as soon as I get a new harness (outgrew the one I fit in 22 years ago... ).

When should I replace the standing rigging and the old turnbuckels? The boat has not been sailed much in the last 6 years but I would like to start sailing her more often with my 6 year old daughter from now on .

Thanks,
DJ
