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 chances 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.
