For anyone interested in what I learned, I'm having the rigging replaced th=
is winter by Chuck Poindexter at Sound Rigging. I'm told that Hall Spars do=
es not generally deal directly with owners. Chuck says he has replaced rod =
on a couple of other Frers 33s. I'm also told that 25 years is the expected=
 life of the rod and we are now past that, except for our forestay which I =
discovered has already been replaced. So I've decided not to take any chanc=
es with the rest of it. Risk of injury aside, the cost of a new mast would =
probably exceed the insured value of the boat if a shroud were to fail.=20
