Owners considering a re-rig on a Swan 38 can use this page to establish the likely project scope before the existing stays are measured. The standing-rigging section can be used for initial budgeting, while the running-rigging and equipment tables help identify additional work that may sensibly be completed at the same time. Even apparently standard production boats can acquire different fittings over time, so photographs and measurements from the current rig are more useful than relying on the model name alone. To turn the model guide into a manufacturing specification, measure the existing stays and confirm terminal forms, pin sizes, turnbuckle threads and the exact way the forestay connects to the furler.
