My guess is it will cost you between £7,500 and £11,000 plus crane. You need to get a few quotes as some companies are more competitive than others.

Depends on wire diameter a lot. I know of a ketch the same size as mine with 8mm rigging. Mine is 12mm. Can you imagine the cost difference. My friends 57ft boat has 14mm wire mine is half the price per metre

What LOA is your Folkboat?
She's close on 24'. The rigging was :

This might give a flavour of their pricing, but it does seem as if there's good competition for your business, so it shouldn't be too onerous finding the right supplier, paying for it less fun!

Is that 125 for a single 6mm stay?
If so seems very expensive, even Jimmy Green comes in at 97 and I wouldn't call them cheap.
S3i would probably be about 75 and GS Products less than that.

Lots of riggers can't do swage ends above 12mm. This might narrow the choice of businesses that can undertake the work.

SWR were recommended to me by an Aberdonian, I'd have assumed he'd found it cheaper by a ha'penny than anyone else, thus I didn't look further.
It'll break his heart when I tell him that he could've saved money elsewhere. :) ???????
