Does anyone have any recommendations for new rigging? Salty Dog Marine is having a sale and I would like to know who I should go with and who I should avoid when it comes to replacing the shrouds and forestay rigging.

Thanks for your input.

avoid any place that is not a sailing shop (like west marine).. they usually don't know everything they should about cats. I don't think most west marines handle rigging but some do and i have seen them mis-cut shrouds.

Salty dog is a good company to deal with.. they are fine i would think

I've had great luck with Murray's Marine here in CA. www.murrays.com

You can always support your local Hobie dealer, that is what keeps them in business. If you fail to support them, next thing you know, THEY ARE GONE

I agree... we have a local repair guy who is my mentor.. i purchase almost exclusively from him, pay in cash (so he doesn't lose the 5% credit card companies take) and even try to use him to do work i could do myself... (but he won't wax my boat)....
