This Beneteau First 32s5 page brings the main rigging-planning information together so an owner can move from an early estimate to a checked specification. The kicker recommendation is presented as a separate equipment option, allowing it to be considered during the refit without treating it as part of the standing-rigging set. Factory options and later refits can produce meaningful differences between sisterships, particularly around the forestay, furler, mast terminals and lower attachment points. The final check should identify each stay individually and capture wire size, finished length, terminal geometry, pin diameters, rigging screws and any furler components that determine the forestay length.
