Professional rigger Didrik Godaker emphasizes the importance of proactive rig maintenance to prevent failures, noting that most urgent service requests stem from issues identified during the previous summer season.7:45 He recommends that boat owners perform a thorough rig inspection every autumn to identify potential problems before the spring launch.9:27 When inspecting standing rigging, owners should focus specifically on the terminals and the shorter wires, such as lower shrouds and diagonals, which experience higher stress and wear than longer stays like the forestay.14:05 A single broken strand in a wire is a critical warning sign indicating that the entire standing rig has reached the end of its service life.16:25 For new boats, Godaker suggests sailing for two years before performing an initial rig tune and inspection.10:39 While rod rigging offers superior strength and lower stretch for performance, he notes that compact "dieform" wire is a viable upgrade for cruisers because it fits existing hardware.18:05 He advises against DIY rigging repairs, as specialized tools and professional terminal pressing are essential for safety.11:33
