Owners considering a re-rig on a Beneteau First 345 can use this page to establish the likely project scope before the existing stays are measured. Owners can use the individual sections to compare the core re-rig with optional furler, kicker, winch, rope and mast-or-boom work before requesting a detailed estimate. Changes made during earlier refits are often found at the ends of the stays rather than in the wire itself, which is why terminal style, pin size and turnbuckle thread need checking. A reliable production schedule should record stay count, wire or rod size, finished dimensions, mast terminals, chainplate pins, turnbuckle threads and the forestay connection through the fitted furler.
