This guide gives J/105 owners a structured way to plan standing-rigging replacement alongside the other mast and deck equipment that may be involved. If the project extends beyond the stays, the same page can also be used to review halyards and sheets, furling equipment, kicker options, winches and replacement spar guidance. 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. 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.
