This guide gives Swan 40 (S&S) owners a structured way to plan standing-rigging replacement alongside the other mast and deck equipment that may be involved. 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. Factory options and later refits can produce meaningful differences between sisterships, particularly around the forestay, furler, mast terminals and lower attachment points. 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.
