the survey on the yacht I might buy strongly reccomends that the standing rigging be replaced as it seems to have been on for at least 15 years if not more. The broker suggests we pay for a man to test it electronicaly, and "it will probably be alright". How often should it be changed? why should we pay a further amount when we've already had a survey done? Would the cost of replacement be a suitable "bargaining point" or is it one of those things that just comes with the age of the boat- we are going to accept the small amount of osmosis it has, for example.
