I had one done and I believe Hall Spars are the best people to deal with on
this issue.

Has anyone replaced or re-headed rod rigging. Is there any accepted wisdom
on how long before this should be done? Is inspection adequate?

can't give you more specifics. We've wiskered out our number three and heavy
one on a couple of occasions in heavy air using the spinnaker pole, and both
times it's worked really well. Likewise sailing with Ted on First Edition
we use the spinnaker pole in the Thursday night series and it seems plenty
long for the job. The biggest problem has been getting it off when the wind
is over thirty, but I'm not sure the telescoping pole would make it any
easier.
