Re-Rigging
Casulen II was built in 1978. As we were not sure of whether she had been re-rigged since then, we decided that we should do so. Instead of paying someone to do it for us, we bought a 100m roll of 4mm stainless steel wire, 
some brass ferrules and borrowed a crimping tool. The job took a whole weekend to complete and cutting the old rigging was something we didn’t want to do, as we were not 100% sure of our rigging skills! However, once we had worked out what we were doing, we found it to be a fairly easy job. As the new rigging has stood up to over 1000 miles of sailing and experienced over 40 knots of wind, we think that we possibly got it right!
