Owners considering a re-rig on a Sigma 38 can use this page to establish the likely project scope before the existing stays are measured. The page separates standing rigging from running rigging and deck equipment, making it easier to decide which items belong in the immediate refit and which can remain optional. A previous owner may have changed the furler, turnbuckles or mast hardware without altering the overall rig plan, so those details should be recorded before a new set is ordered. 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.
