Westerly Konsort

[waterchild]

Viewing a Konsort this week... Purchase rests on hull's moisture readings - However I have been told there is some blistering on the hull... :-(
Hazard a guess the standing rigging will need replacing and I'll need lazy jacks fitted for single handed sailing...
Any ideas on replacement costs ?

Might be worth contacting Z Spars or similar. I found they were very quick to get back to met.
Just for reference, I had my Vega standing rigging replaced, inc bottlescrews, for about £450, five years ago.
Obviously a Konsort is a bit bigger.

Cost depends on how much you are going to replace and whether the mast is out. The simplest way is to take the existing stays to a rigger and get replacements made up for you to fit. Material cost £6-800 - you can work it out for yourself by using the calculator on the Jimmy Green website. Clearly if you want somebody to do the whole job and replace all the rigging screws at the same time you could be looking at £1500-2000. Lazy jacks are easy - you can either buy the made up ones from Barton or make your own up. If you are also having a stack pack made look at around £500 for the whole job.
