Other surveyors have seen 15 year rigs that are in fine shape. A manufacturer has stated if the fittings are free of stress related cracks and distortions monitor things and everything is aok until stress issues occur . Anyway interested in knowing of others expeiences with their C 42s Years of rigging service. Peter Hull 466 -MI - 2cabin 14 years with original clean stress free stays

We had quite a lot of corrosion, pitting, and discoloration (stress) at various points. It was painful to pay the bill, but I do sleep better. I'm sure the rigging will last longer than 13 years on more lightly used boats, in more mild environments. Steve Eller, Hull #446, 3 cabin, Annapolis, MD
