This Swan 48 (S&S) page brings the main rigging-planning information together so an owner can move from an early estimate to a checked specification. The kicker recommendation is presented as a separate equipment option, allowing it to be considered during the refit without treating it as part of the standing-rigging 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. Before ordering, compare the model page with the actual rig and resolve any difference in stay layout, wire size, end fittings, pin dimensions, rigging screws or furler connections.
