The standard issues of standing rigging and mast work.  One area to note
is the spreaders, the attachment, the ends and also check the bottoms of
the spreader bars.  About 5 or 6 years ago we had the mast pulled to
repaint and the upper spreaders had corroded so badly on the bottoms
that they could not be reinstalled.  We had them replaced then and we
redid all of JACE's standing rigging at that time with 5/16 and norseman
fittings.

On redoing the rigging... As you take each piece loose from the boat,
put tape on it and write which point it attached to.  Very important,
especially if you are going to cut new pieces to fit, they need to
match.  This also makes reinstallation easier.
