This Dufour 445 page brings the main rigging-planning information together so an owner can move from an early estimate to a checked specification. Winch guidance is kept as an optional deck-equipment item, which helps distinguish a core re-rig from upgrades that may be desirable but are not essential to the stay set. 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.
